This Pro Tennis Player Was Fined $17,500 for Making Obscene Gesture With Water Bottle
Watch Nick Kyrgios’ NSFW moment here, if you must.
Pro tennis’ reigning bad boy copped a stiff fine for yet another instance of naughty behavior.
During his 7-6, 7-6 semifinal loss to Marin Cilic at the Queen’s Club Championship in London, 23-year-old Nick Kyrgios used a water bottle to mime masturbation.
Cameras caught the obscene gesture from start to finish. Watch it below, if you feel the need:

It wasn’t the only time the Australian played between his legs during the Wimbledon warm-up tournament. Watch him hit two tweeners—one of which is wholly unnecessary—in the same rally during his match against Andy Murray.
The Association of Tennis Professionals weren’t pleased with their No. 19-ranked player’s behavior and consequently took back $17,500 of Kyrgios’ reported $105,000 tournament earnings.
On the other hand, Twitter users seemed to appreciate the footage.

Apparently, that’s the one shot he shouldn’t have taken.
