In the recent weeks, Nick Kyrgios has been showing how good player he is and he confirms that also at the 2022 US Open.

Matches of the Australian were often accompanied by unwanted discussions or on-court behaviour that wasn't supported by many fans. And although, Nick Kyrgios got rid of any unwanted talk or acts towards the opponent or crowd. But despite a very good performance in the second round of the 2022 US Open against Benjamin Bonzi, the match featured a moment like this.

After one of the rallies, the 27-years-old Australian spit on the court, looking someone directly in the eyes. It's not clear if he spit in a direction of his opponent or some fans, but the behaviour was certainly not welcomed by the fans. The match also featured an interesting moment when the 2022 Wimbledon finalist smelled marijuana at the stadium.

"I smell marijuana. There was smoke. Obviously I'm not going to complete about food smell. Obviously when athletes are running side-to-side and they already have asthma, it's not ideal," complained Kyrgios to the umpire of the match who then asked fans not to smoke court-side.
