Australia's volatile Nick Kyrgios has been fined for a colourful directive to the rowdy crowd during his opening round win at the Australian Open. The Australian was among six players fined a total $15,000 for indiscretions in qualifying and the main draw's first phase at the year's opening Grand Slam. Croatia's Borna Coric was hit with a $5,000 penalty for racquet abuse during his defeat to Australia's John Millman. Argentina's Diego Schwartzman and Romanian Marius Copil were fined $2,000 each for the same offence. Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik was handed two $1,000 fines and American Stefan Kozlov was penalised USD 1,000, both for audible obscenities during qualifying.
