    When Nick Kyrgios questioned ATP's reaction to Novak Djokovic's outburst at Qatar Open

    Synopsis

    At the Djokovic final match, Djokovic was seen displaying his rage by smashing his racket.

    ET Bureau
    It was a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black when Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios slammed World No 2 Novak Djokovic for his apparent outburst during the Qatar Open final against Andy Murray.
    Djokovic was seen displaying his rage by smashing his racket, which got Kyrgios tweeting in anger. “I would’ve been defaulted and suspended until 2025,” the tennis player wrote, with a picture of Djokovic batting a ball away in anger. Kyrgios’s anger could be stemming from the fact that he was forced by the ATP to work with a sports psychologist to counter his on-court conduct, while the Djokovic was let off with only a warning.



    Pictures from the match show Djokovic almost hitting a linesman with a ball, which instead flew into a court side box, landing on a woman spectator.
