This should cover things including smashing a racket, launching a ball out of the court, swearing etc. Of course, it is up to the umpires to enforce this stuff and as we all know, that's a major issue.

$$$. Nobody wants to see players defaulted. Spectators would go nuts. I've seen lots of Kyrgios matches, he was actually good today. We swears mostly at himself and the odd comment to the crowd but the Wimnbledon crowd was firmly with him today. And if he's muttering during points and between serves, Tsitsipas should say something about it, do what Nadal did today, because that's hinderance. Once Tsitsipas got the point penalty, Krygios calmed down and played out the rest of the match brilliantly.
Kyrgios hits you with a tennis ball and the crowd goes oooooh. Then you get mad and hit him 10 times, he doesn't care. Tsitsipas aimed at him a lot and he didn't care. That's his advantage.
