Kyrgios appeared to aim a mouthful of spit in the general direction of his box and then dropped several F-bombs at his team after suffering a break of serve.
Kyrgios went on to drop the set, but subsequently recovered his composure for a 7-6 (7-3), 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 victory.
Earlier, during the second set, Kyrgios had complained about being able to smell marijuana in the stadium. “If it was food smells, I wouldn’t be complaining,” Kyrgios told umpire Jaume Campistol. “It’s marijuana. When an athlete has asthma, it’s obviously not ideal.” Campistol responded by making a plea to the spectators. “As a courtesy to the players, please refrain from smoking around the court,” he said.
