Nick Kyrgios lost to Roger Federer, 6-7(5) 7-5 10-7, in the Laver Cup on Saturday, in part, because he was distracted by the crowd.
As Kyrgios came off the court after the second set, TV cameras caught him telling his team that he was distracted by a "hot chick" in the crowd.
"I lost concentration, I saw a really hot chick in the crowd," Kyrgios said. "Like, I'm being jarringly honest - I'd marry her right now. Right now."
Here's video of the moment below:
Kyrgios later withdrew from the tournament with an injury.
It's been a roller-coaster year for Kyrgios. He won two tournaments this season, but was also thrown out of matches for temper tantrums and profane rants against umpires. He was hit with a massive $113,000 fine for a meltdown at the Cincinnati Open. He also found himself in the crosshairs of the ATP after he called the organization "corrupt" at the U.S. Open.
