ROME - An action-packed day at the Italian Open was marred by an astonishing outburst from Australian Nick Kyrgios, who was expelled from the tournament after going wild in the third set of his match against Casper Ruud on Thursday.
Holder Rafael Nadal and world number one Novak Djokovic also romped into the last eight with straight sets wins on a day featuring double bills for the top seeds after rain wiped out Wednesday’s play, with the Spaniard dropping only two games.Trailing 2-1 in the third set, the Australian slammed his racket into the ground, kicked a water bottle and tossed a chair toward the center of the court before he shook hands with the umpire and his Norwegian opponent Ruud and walked out.
Several hours after slamming a ball over the Foro Italico’s stands and bending over to turn his backside on Medvedev, Kyrgios branded Nadal a sore loser and the Spaniard’s uncle Toni an “idiot” for saying the Australian lacks education. The Swiss maestro had looked every bit his age in the opening set against Coric, 15 years his junior, as the Croatian pummeled his rival with stinging baseline shots.
