I think it's the repeat offender status and lack of escalating discipline that's the problem. in the NHL the sizes of fines and lengths of suspensions are still pretty arbitrary, but in general they do tend to climb as the player accumulates offenses, particularly if they are in a shorter time span.
I'm expecting more of the same old fines for Kyrgios in this case, rather than the ATP actually taking into account his long rap sheet to do something that might actually be a deterrent.
