However, what made the Nick Kyrgios vs Paul Jubb match more interesting was Kyrgios spitting in the direction of a spectator after claiming that he said was hassling him. Kyrgios while shedding more light on the incident involving the fan said “In the direction of one of the people disrespecting me, yes. I would not do that to someone who was supporting me,” Kyrgios responded when asked about claims that he spat at fans".

He further said, “I didn’t say anything to the crowd until they started just every time I came down to the far end, people just going. It’s just I don’t know if it’s normal or not. Just pure disrespect, just anything. Someone just yelled out I was s**t in the crowd today. Is that normal? No. I just don’t understand why it’s happening over and over again".

Besides getting into a spat with a fan for being disrespectful the 27-year-old also argued with the line umpire during the match calling him a “snitch”. While shedding limelight on the incident Nick Krygios referred to the line judge to be an “old man” with a weak vision. He said, " No, I said most of the umpires are older, and I just don't think that's ideal when you're playing a sport of such small margins. Factually people that are younger have better eyesight. Do you not think that's appropriate? When you're playing a sport for hundreds and thousands of dollars, do you not think that we should have people that are really ready to call the ball in or out?”
