Kyrgios has been an umpire's nightmare at times and is well known for his fiery temper and sledging of opponents which has landed him in hot water a number of times.


The most publicised of his misdemeanors was his verbal abuse of his opponent Stan Wawrinks during a court change at the 2015 Rogers Cup which the court microphones picked up.


Kyrgios was fined US$10 000 for the unsavoury comments and personally apologised to Wawrinka.


On review, the ATP also handed down a 28-day suspended sentence for six months and a further US$25 000 fine if he repeated the offence.


But for now, lets hail the exceptional on-court tennis skill of the controversial Aussie in a mixed doubles encounter at the Australian Open.
