As a result of the penalty - and in a fit of rage, he threw his racket on the floor and kicked over a water bottle. The crowd was shocked again when he threw a chair across the court, before muttering: "I'm done." 

Kyrgios was disqualified from the tournament and his opponent Casper Ruud will advance to the third round to face Juan Martin del Potro. 

The meltdown has gone viral on social media.
