the Australian Nick Kyrgios claimed he was the victim of “racist insults” by some spectators in his defeat in the semifinals of the tournament last stuttgart in view of Andy Murray (7-6, 6-2), where he was punished by a chair umpire game.
“When will this stop? People have to tolerate racist slurs?” Kyrgios wrote on Instagram after the fight. “I know my behavior isn’t always the best, but these comments are unacceptable,” added Kyrgios, the world No. 47.
Kyrgios lost his temper after a very tight first set that lasted 65 minutes. The 27-year-old Australian broke his racket and exchanged hot words with a group of spectators, leading to first a point and then a penalty in the game from the referee.
From there, the Aussie stopped visibly competing in the match, content to return Andy Murray’s balls to the excitement of the big crowd.
