Nick Kyrgios hit with hefty fine over Shanghai Masters outburst

Nick Kyrgios has avoided suspension but received a hefty fine over his on-court outburst at the Shanghai Masters.

The Australian tennis star will be forced to pay nearly $22,000 for not trying, unsportsmanlike behaviour and abusing a spectator.

It’s thought to be the biggest fine in tennis this year.

3AW Mornings host Neil Mitchell called on the controversial sportsman to retire on Thursday.
