The moment Kyrgios hit a Wimbledon umpire

Nick Kyrgios’ big win over Argentina’s Diego Schwartzman at Wimbledon on Monday was overshadowed by clashes with officials.
• Kyrgios accused of two-word slur against umpire
• Kyrgios wastes no time progressing at Wimbledon
The 20-year-old needed just 84 minutes to post a 6-0 6-2 7-6 (8-6) victory but he was accused of calling chair umpire Mohammed Layhani “dirty scum” following a heated exchange between the pair.
And during the first set, Kyrgios – in an attempt to lob a ball back to on-court officials – hit a linesman square on the head.
Kyrgios, who did apologise, found the incident humorous and the Wimbledon crowd and linesman also saw the funny side.
