The footage is pretty bad and the post-match comments are even worse, in my opinion. Guy needs to get his head straight.

SHANGHAI — Nick Kyrgios will have to pay $16,500 in fines for his bizarre actions at the Shanghai Masters.

The Australian tennis player received one of the largest fines of his career on Friday for his lack of effort and argumentative behaviour during his second-round match. He was fined the maximum $10,000 for showing a "lack of best efforts" in a match, $5,000 for verbal abuse of a spectator and $1,500 for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Kyrgios rushed through his 6-3, 6-1 loss to German qualifier Mischa Zverev on Thursday, failing to put any speed on some serves and hitting erratically on his groundstrokes. At one point, he walked toward his chair after floating a serve across the net without even waiting for Zverev's return.

Late in the match, Kyrgios also responded angrily to a fan who criticized him by shouting back, "You want to come here and play?"
