Kyrgios has five days to launch an appeal but the Australian has said on social media he will accept the probation. This isn't the first time Kyrgios' behavior has been subject to scrutiny either.

"Why are we talking about something that happened three weeks ago when I just chopped up someone [in the] first round of the US Open?" At that point, the match was evenly poised with Kyrgios 1-0 up and on serve, before prevailing in a tie break in the second set.
