The 26-year-old, who found the walkie-talkie of chair umpire Carlos Bernardes too loud, gave the referee an angry shout when the score was 4:4. “How is that possible? This is the 4th round of Miami, one of the biggest tournaments, and you’re not doing your job. It’s embarrassing,” Kyrgios rumbled. “That’s a joke!”
