Tennis' bad boy Nick Kyrgios landed himself in trouble once again and was fined US$ 10,000 for misconduct during his opening singles match at Wimbledon.

The 27-year-old Australian admitted to spitting in the direction of a 'disrespectful' fan and called a line judge a 'snitch' in an ill-tempered five-set win over Britain's Paul Jubb on Tuesday.

However, Kyrgios let his tennis do the talking in his second-round match on Thursday and won an impressive 3-setter against his Serbian opponent to enter round 3.
