Nick Kyrgios had some strong words for a fan who interrupted his match against Rafael Nadal.
The 26-year-old Australian tennis star paused his serve to reply to a heckler sitting near actor Ben Stiller, who was attending the match with his wife Christine Taylor.
“Are you good at tennis?” Nick began, as the fan replied, “No.”
Nick asked, “Exactly, so why are you speaking?”
He then pointed his racket at Ben and added, “Do I tell him how to act!? — No.”

The camera then panned to Ben, who was seen grinning in his seat. You can check out the full clip on Twitter.
Nick ultimately lost the match to Rafael, who will advance to the semifinal and face off against Carlos Alcaraz. He had another outburst on the court, throwing his racket and nearly hitting a ball boy.
“What would you like me to say about it? Obviously, was that my intention? No,” Nick said in a press conference after the match, per the New York Post. “Because did I throw the racket anywhere near him originally? … It skidded and nearly hit him. I’m human and things happen like that. It was a very misfortunate bounce. I think if I did that a million times over it wouldn’t have gone that way.”
Ben and Christine‘s outing comes after the actor revealed they had rekindled their romance during lockdown. Find out more…
