Italian Open: Kyrgios disqualified after throwing chair during Rome Open match against Ruud
The Australian sent a forehand wide to hand a break back to Casper Ruud early in the third set at 1-1, after Kyrgios had responded to losing the first set 6-3 with victory in the second set tie-break.
Kyrgios vented his frustration towards the crowd and chair umpire, and proceeded to throw his tennis racket to the ground.
The 24-year-old then kicked over a water bottle and threw a chair stool onto the tennis court.
Kyrgios had received multiple code violations earlier in the match and the umpire handed him a game penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
After throwing the chair, he then packed his bag and walked off the court, which led to him being defaulted from the match.
