The Australian was initially fined $113,000 having hurled abuse at umpire Fergus Murphy in his loss to Karen Khachanov in Cincinnati, while he also smashed two rackets during a bathroom break he had not been given permission to take.
That triggered an investigation from the ATP and the governing body found Kyrgios “committed aggravated behaviour” and was guilty of a “pattern of behaviour” when it came to verbally abusing officials or spectators.
Kyrgios’ latest fine and suspension have both been deferred for a period of six months, provided there are no further code violations that result in a fine for verbal or physical abuse, unsportsmanlike conduct or visible obscenities.
