NEW YORK (AP) — Nick Kyrgios was bothered by what he believed was the smell of marijuana on Wednesday in form at the U. S. Open.
The Wimbledon finalist complained about the smell of his second-round victory over Benjamin Bonzi and asked chair judge Jaume Campistol to warn the crowd inside Louis Armstrong Stadium.
“Don’t you need to remind anyone not to or something?” asked Kyrgios to a replacement at the set time.
Armstrong presents food stalls along the lobby point above the box and it turns out that Campistol is telling Kyrgios that the smell can come from his kitchens.
“Obviously I’m going to complain about the smell of the food,” Kyrgios replied. “Obviously Array. “
Kyrgios after his 7-6 (3), 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 victory had asthma.
“When I run from side to side, I have trouble breathing,” he said. “Probably anything you need to breathe between the spots. “
Australia’s No. 23 seed was the same lively old man from the party, holding talks with himself and the other people seated. He won a reprimand for employing profanity when the target of his anger was someone in his box that Kyrgios said didn’t help him. enough.
The noise of New York is a challenge for many players, and Kyrgios struggled not only with the talk of the fans, but also with the roars of the trains that can be heard from outside the stadium.
“For someone who has had trouble concentrating on my career, I try to put my head down and play point by point, trying to get out of certain situations. It’s complicated because there are a lot of distractions,” Kyrgios said. Obviously, there are also a lot of boos. People say things. I have to be very careful about what I say those days.
