Cincinnati, Australia (AHN) – Australia's "hooligan" Nick Kerrius has returned to the limelight after losing to Russian Karen Khachanov in the second round of the US Open in Cincinnati .
Although Kachanov, eighth in the world rankings, settled the match and reached the third round with a hard victory 6-7, 7-6, 6-2, but the Australian ranked 27th again stole the show because of his actions when he decided to leave the stadium to go to the toilet, although referee Irish Fergus Murphy objected, saying that there was not much time .
However, the 24-year-old did not care what the referee had said and went to the restroom with the strikers under his arm and appeared in front of the camera, breaking the strikers into one of the tunnels leading to the stadium before coming back while he was making faulty statements to the referee.
At the end of the match, the player, who has six titles during his professional career, refused to shake hands with the referee and threw his shoes on the public before giving his broken rackets to two young spectators in the entertained.
Two-week-old Kerry, who won the title in Washington, also sparked controversy at the Toronto Masters last week when he argued with the referee about the lack of towels white.
Three months ago at the Italian Masters, after being punished for one point, he got angry and threw a chair on the ground before retiring from the match.
