The Indian Wells tournament is underway in California, and Nick Kyrgios – recently sledged by Bernard Tomic for chucking a Davis Cup sickie – suffered a straight-sets loss to Spain’s Albert Ramos-Vinolas today, knocking him out of contention.
Because there’s no such thing as a Kyrgios match without drama, the fiery young player managed to get into it with the chair umpire, and earned himself a scolding for his bad language.
While down 3-2 in the second set, he appeared to question a call, asking “what the fuck just happened?”
The umpire responded, telling him “please Nick, stop using ‘F’ words.”
“I didn’t say anything mate,” he responded. “I don’t wanna play anymore, this is bullshit.”
“Please, don’t use bad words,” responded the umpire, whose delicate sensibilities were, at that point, truly shattered.
The internet, in its bounty, has disgorged a Vine showing part of the exchange:

With Kyrgios out, Bernard Tomic is the only Aussie remaining in the tournament; he’s set to face Canada’s Milos Raonic.
