The foul tempered outburst from Nick Kyrgios after his quarter-final defeat against Karen Khachanov has cost the Australian £12,000 ($14k), the biggest fine so far handed out at the US Open.
In his quarter-final singles match, Kyrgios had a rant at his box resulting in a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct. He also threw a water bottle in anger and that was followed by a post-match outburst which saw him smash two rackets on the floor - resulting in the £12,000 fine.
However, for reaching the US Open quarter-final stage in the singles and fourth round in the doubles, the Australian won prize money totalling £411,200 ($473,200).
