The Bad Boy of Tennis is not a new title for Australia’s Nick Kyrgios. Despite his run to the Wimbledon final in July, his best-ever result at a major, the 27-year-old has been making headlines off the court this year, too. He was fined $35,000 by the ATP for verbal abuse, audible obscenities and unsportsmanlike conduct at the Miami Open. He’s being sued by a tennis fan who was temporarily removed from Centre Court during the men’s Wimbledon final, for his “drunk out of her mind” comment—and that’s just in the last few months.
Kyrgios is also facing assault charges related to an incident involving his former girlfriend, in January 2021 in Canberra.
Controversy seems to follow Kyrgios. Here’s a rundown of the biggest headlines the Australian has made since 2015.
