One of Australia's biggest personalities in Tennis, Nick Kyrgios, carries a multicultural heritage that includes a royal connection to Malaysia.

Nick Kyrgios raged at an Australian Open umpire after his doubles partner Thanasi Kokkinakis was given a code violation for hitting the ball out of play. Kokkinakis was pulled up in the first set against Aleksandar Vukic and James Duckworth for launching the ball into the stands in frustration, before he and Kyrgios later retired.

Kokkinakis has been struggling with a pectoral injury for some time, and was forced to withdraw from the Adelaide International last week. He managed to win his first-round singles match at the Australian Open, before suffering a heartbreaking five-set loss in the second round.

Kokkinakis was hampered by a long-standing pectoral injury as he went down 7-6 (7-3) 3-6 6-3 5-7 3-6 to Jack Draper in a four-hour-and-35-minute heartbreaker. Speaking after the match, Kokkinakis said he wouldn't even be able to lift his right arm to serve on Thursday night.

Both Kyrgios (strained abdominal muscle) and Kokkinakis (right shoulder trouble) came into the match dealing with physical issues.
