Look what Nick Kyrgios did to a line umpire!

Bengaluru, August 10: Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios is known for his antics and hot temper on the court along with his prodigious talent.

But on Wednesday (August 9) a mistake by Kyrgios created a hilarious moment during his victory over Italy's Paolo Lorenzi at the Montreal Masters.

Kyrgios progressed to the third round of the tournament with a 6-2, 6-3 win over the world No 38, but all the talk was on his error with the line judge. After wiping away his sweat, Kyrgios threw his towel at who he thought was a ball boy - but it was the line judge.

The stone-faced official was clearly focused on his job, not batting an eyelid as the towel bounced off his stomach and landed on the ground.

Kyrgios responded to the funny moment on Twitter. "Haha real talk. That's my bad. I was sweating so much," he tweeted.
