Australian Kyrgios reacted angrily to a call early in the third set of the second-round match in Rome, leading to him losing his serve.

After complaining to the chair umpire at the change of ends, the 24-year-old slammed his racket to the floor and kicked a piece of equipment, then followed that up by launching the table.

As he continued his complaints, Kyrgios packed up his equipment and walked off, though not before shaking hands with both his opponent and the chair umpire.

The contest was at 3-6 7-6 (7-5) 1-1 when the world number 36 departed after receiving the game penalty, meaning Ruud progresses to the last 16 of the tournament.
