Nick Kygrios didn't hold back during the Wimbledon final, raising his voice on a number of occasions in a series of outbursts which brought him a fine of £3,000 to go along with punishments for incidents earlier in the tournament.
The Australian was playing in his first Grand Slam final, with the withdrawal of semi-final opponent Rafael Nadal setting up a meeting with defending champion Novak Djokovic. However, as things got tough on court, a number of people around centre court were the subject of his wrath.
It is far from the first time Kyrgios has got in trouble, though. Over the course of his career, the 27-year-old has been forced to fork out a significant amount of money for a number of different indiscretions.
Earlier in this year's Wimbledon, Kyrgios revealed that he was closing in on AU$800,000 in career fines. That's equivalent to £455,000 - nearly half of the £1.05m he locked up for reaching this year's final.
"Every time we get fined it goes to charity...and I'm like, I don't know why you told me that," Kyrgios said on the 'Turn Up The Talk' podcast (via The Express ). "I don't think all the time it's been fair but I say I'd be approaching...800 grand I reckon."
These fines date back a number of years and follow a range of different offences, including a record £90,000 fine in 2019. However, he added to his running total at this year's Wimbledon Championships when he was fined around £8,200 after admitting to spitting towards a spectator.
One of Kyrgios' biggest financial punishments came earlier this year at the Miami Open. On that occasion, he was handed four separate fines totalling £26,500.

He was also required to fork out £13,500 back in 2016 after a code of conduct breach at the Shanghai Masters. On that occasion, he was handed a series of fines for what the ATP described as Lack of Best Efforts, Verbal Abuse of a Spectator, and Unsportsmanlike Conduct.
Kyrgios, who was ranked 40th in the world in June, knocked out number four seed Stefanos Tsitsipas en route to his first Wimbledon final. The match featured plenty of bad blood between the two players, with Tsitsipas continuing the feud after his defeat, and both players were fined for their conduct to take Kyrgios' total at this year's tournament up to £11,500. His fine for his outbursts in the final - which fell under 'audible obscenity' - brought his total for the week up to £14,500.
In the game against Djokovic, Kyrgios took the first set before dropping the next two. During the television coverage of the match, he could be seen making reference to a spectator who he said "[looked like] she had had 700 drinks," and took issue with what he considered to be unwelcome interruptions from the crowd.
He also made complaints to the umpire over the course of the match, remaining extremely vocal between points. It remains to be seen whether Kyrgios will receive any punishment for any of his conduct during the final.
