Nick Kyrgios just got ejected from the Italian Open.

The Australian tennis player had previously been in entertaining form having called upon a wide variety of trick shots, including his infamous underarm serve, to defeat Daniil Medvedev on Tuesday.

In the second round on Thursday, Kyrgios went one set down to Casper Ruud. Cheered on by a loud Italian crowd, the 24-year-old won the second set after a gripping tie break and had the momentum to take the third.

But after the second game of the third set, Krygios fell apart.

He was given a game penalty for apparent swearing, The Guardian reports, which saw him go 2-1 down to Ruud.

Angered, Kyrgios smashed his racket on the clay, kicked out at the dust, and lobbed a chair onto the court. This disqualified him from the match, according to the Tennis Channel.

He then packed his bag, shook the chair umpire's hand, and stormed off in a huff having been kicked out of the tournament, one he had otherwise been performing well in.
