The Australian was in firm control of his service game but went on to lose as Coric led 5-3. Kyrgios saw red mist and slammed his racket against the ground twice. However, he did then offer his equipment to a member of the crowd who was wearing a Boston Celtics journey - the team which Kyrgios also supports.<doc-sep>The 27th seed and a two-time Miami semi-finalist Nick Kyrgios has improved his score to 12-0 over the players ranked outside the top-10 in Florida, ousting Dusan Lajovic 6-3, 6-1 in 57 minutes. What seems to be a comfortable win for the Aussie came after all kind of tantrums, extraordinary shots and the complete entertaining package that kept the crowd on the edge of their seats for almost an hour. In his show on the court, Nick managed to hit an underhand serve ace, to serve another one of those serves on set point, play a no-look forehand, salute crowd before a smash, argue with the fan who was sent out and get a delay game warning, and all that, we repeat, in 57 minutes! The Aussie fired 12 aces and defended six out of seven break points to mount the pressure on Lajovic who couldn't do much in this one-person show, losing half of the points behind the initial shot and suffering five breaks that put him miles away from the positive result. Kyrgios closed the match with 25 winners and 12 unforced errors, leaving Lajovic on a 14-12 ratio and dominating in the quickest rallies up to four strokes (Dusan failed to return 30% of Nick's serves) to secure the win and race into the last 16. Lajovic squandered three break points at the start of the match and wasted a game point at 1-2 to get broken after a backhand mistake. A forehand down the line winner pushed the Aussie 5-1 up before Lajovic pulled one break back, reducing the deficit but falling 6-3 behind after four winners from Nick in game nine. The better-ranked player had a clear advantage on the court in set number two, delivering three straight breaks to wrap up the things up in the seventh game, setting the fourth-round clash against Borna Coric. "During the first set of Sunday evening's match between Nick Kyrgios and Dusan Lajovic, a fan seated behind the baseline began making inappropriate comments towards Mr. Kyrgios, which on several occasions interrupted play and provoked a reaction from the player and the crowd. Ushers and Hard Rock Stadium security responded quickly and asked the fan to leave the stadium. Upon refusal to leave, local law enforcement officers were summoned and escorted the man in question fro the tournament site."<doc-sep>When you subscribe we will use the information you provide to send you these newsletters.

The turbulent match was full of controversy, as has become the norm with Kyrgios. But the Australian decided to mimic world No 5 Federer during a key point of the second set. “I just lost concentration. Kind of got a little bored in the second set, like my concentration just started veering off,” Kyrgios admitted.<doc-sep>
Nick Kyrgios has bowed out of the Miami Open after dropping a one-set lead to Croatian Borna Coric, struggling to stay at his peak with obvious health concerns. The Australian's movement around the court was hampered and it saw him face a 3-1 deficit early in the first set. But the 23-year-old fought hard to take the lead, pulling out an ''outrageous'' tweener shot that changed the course of the match.

The enigmatic Australian claimed five of the next six games, but his fitness woes continued to plague him as he fought with his body throughout the match. Frustration kicked in as he fell behind 4-2 in the second set, smashing his racquest twice before presenting it to a fan in a Celtics jersey. "I was just folding it up for him,'' Kyrgios told the chair umpire. Kyrgios was then broken in the fifth game of the third set but had a chance to hit straight back with Coric on the ropes at 0-40, but failed to convert his last break point chance. Having been heckled by a fan in his previous encounter against Dušan Lajović, the Miami crowd was again hunting for a reaction with one spectator disrupting him during a serve. He was handed a point penalty and later expressed his disappointment in umpire Gianluca Moscarella. ''Good job, well done. You deserve encouragement. You controlled the environment well. Honest feedback, you've done a terrible job,'' he said. Kyrgios later explained his actions. "They paid money to see me play and they just screamed out ridiculous things, and I'm just not going to take it anymore,'' he said. ''I played for 2 hours and 20 minutes, and the guy yells at me 'Play some tennis!' I'm not going to take it, so I just said F you to him. Probably not needed, but at that time I'd been competing and in the heat of the moment, and it's not what you want to hear."
