Nick Kyrgios confronted by court invader after angrily smashing racket in tirade

Nick Kyrgios was faced with a court invader who wanted a selfie during his Miami Open defeat to Jannick Sinner. The Australian was involved in yet another explosive match, which featured a tirade at the umpire and racket smashes.

In the early stages of the second set, the match was paused momentarily as security removed the fan who tried to approach Kyrgios. The 26-year-old began the second set in the worst possible manner by smashing his racket and demanded a supervisor come to the court.

As a result, Bernardes handed the former world No 13 his second penalty of the match, meaning he lost the game and began the second set 1-0 and a break down. Before that however, the big server moaned about the difference of the surface on the Grandstand court where he played today, compared to the main Stadium court, where he had played his three previous matches of the tournament.
