Nick Kyrgios was fined US$10,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct in his first-round Wimbledon victory, the largest of the penalties announced so far at the tournament.

Kyrgios acknowledged at his news conference after that match that he spat in the direction of a spectator he said was heckling him.

Meanwhile, Kyrgios beat 26th-seeded Filip Krajinovic (cra-ji-no-vij) in three straight sets to advance to the third round.
