Pat Cash says he was 'embarrassed' by Aussie fans' behaviour during Nick Kyrgios match at Australian Open Pat Cash has slammed Australian Open fans for their behaviour during the Nick Kyrgios match. PAT Cash has slammed the behaviour of Aussie fans at Nick Kyrgios's match on Thursday night, saying they were "out of control." Kyrgios's match against Frenchman Benoit Paire did not start until after 10pm due to heat and lightning delays, and a packed house was in full voice throughout. The crowd were absolutely going crazy. Actually I'd say out of control," Cash said on Fox Sports' The Daily Serve. I thought the umpire didn't handle that at all ... it was a joke. Paire would throw the ball up and they'd go 'Miss it!', stuff like this. It was out of control. There's gotta be something they can do. It's the Australian Open, it's got international players, it's not a Davis Cup, it's not a football match. A fair amount of the crowd had no respect whatsoever for a seeded French player, absolutely no respect. I was quite embarrassed and I think the officials need to do something about it. It got out of hand a few years ago with the Greeks and the Croatians having fights, I don't want to get into who started what but if there was French people there they could have been really upset about what was going on. Paire eventually won the game despite Kyrgios going two sets and a break up before cramping badly during the fourth set and effectively finishing the game on one leg. Both players reacted to the crowd throughout with Kyrgios occasionally raising his hands to encourage support and Paire screaming towards them as he worked his way back into the game.
