Kyrgios made a poor start to the match as he went down an early break, but fought back to level the proceedings. As he was serving in the ninth game, the Australian lost his cool with the crowd for apparently calling out just as he was tossing the ball.
The 26-year-old yelled an obscenity, prompting the umpire to hand him a code violation. Kyrgios then ranted to the umpire, urging him to ask the crowd to stay silent. He also went to label the crowd “brain-dead.”. Here’s the full exchange between the two at that stage of the match:
The 26-year-old also had a go at the umpire in the second set after being hit with a time violation for delaying Medvedev’s serve. The Aussie took umbrage at the call, claiming all he did was walk towards the towel.

Kyrgios lost the opening set in a tie-break and found himself in a huge hole when he dropped the second set 6-4. The temperamental Aussie did, however, give Medvedev a run for his money in the third set, nabbing it 6-4.
The 26-year-old’s comeback was swiftly halted by the Russian, who broke twice in the fourth set to seal the win and advance to the third round, where he will face Botic van de Zandschulp.
