WATCH: All in a day’s work as Nick Kyrgios smashes racket and donates his shoes
Another day, another incident filled Nick Kyrgios match as the Australian once again provided plenty of entertainment at the BNP Paribas Open.
Having won the Mexican Open a fortnight ago, a lot was expected of Kyrgios at the Indian Wells Masters and he was tipped to play world No 1 and five-time champion Novak Djokovic in the third round.
However, there will be no Djokovic match-up as he suffered a 6-4, 6-4 defeat at the hands of German Philipp Kohlschreiber in the second round.
His frustrations got the better of him during the match and he took it out on his racket.
