ATP imposes further sanctions on Kyrgios

Madrid, Oct 17 : The Association of Tennis Professiols (ATP) has decided to impose additiol sanctions on Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios for his intentiol defeat against Germany's Mischa Zverev at the Shanghai Masters.

According to the ATP, the investigations found out that Kyrgios committed a major offence of engaging in a "conduct contrary to the integrity of the game," reports Efe on Monday.

Thus, the world's no. 14 was fined $25,000 and suspended from ATP tourments for eight weeks until next January 15.
