Kyrgyz emphasized that quite a few of the fines he received stemmed from his reputation: "I do not think they were fair to me all the time," said the tennis player, who justified his answer by indirectly mentioning tennis player Dennis Shapovalov.
At the Davis Cup in 2017, the Canadian injured a referee, who needed hospital treatment and was fined "only" $ 7,000 (Kirius brought up the case but did not name Shapovalov's explicit name).
According to the Daily Mail, Kyrgyz holds the record for the highest fine imposed on a tennis player by the round - $ 113,000 - for violating a code of conduct following his second-round loss to Karen Khachanov at the 2019 Masters Tournament in Cincinnati, where he repeatedly insulted a referee The chair, spat next to him and refused to shake his hand after the game.
