After the five-set loss in the quarterfinals against the Russian Karen Khachanov , the extroverted Australian spectacularly smashed two racquets.
For Kyrgios it was the fifth penalty in New York, previously he had been asked to pay for rude remarks and spitting. A total of $32,500 was raised, which is offset by prize money of $445,000.
The Wimbledon finalist Kyrgios was considered a contender for the title at the US Open and was very frustrated after the 5: 7, 6: 4, 5: 7, 7: 6 (7: 3), 4: 6 defeat against Khachanov . He feels like he's "failed," said Kyrgios.
