The 27-year-old has dropped just two sets on his way to reaching the US Open quarter-final but despite the excellence he has shown with the racket, Kyrgios has continued to recieve attention for his antics - he threw his racket twice during the first-set tie-break and picked up a code violation for audible obscenity.

Later on in the game, the chair umpire, Eva Asderaki, correctly called a ‘foul shot’ from Kyrgios, but this was soon followed by a further spectacle involving the player questioning the decision at length.

However, Kyrgios still managed to prevail and he now prepares for his quarter-final fixture against Karen Khachanov.
