A set to the good, Kyrgios looked to be cruising against Kevin Anderson at the 2017 French Open.
But a second-set meltdown, which saw him smash multiple rackets and ask a fan for a beer, signaled the start of his downfall.
"Get me a beer now. Honest to God, get me one now," he said.
He went on to the lose the match 5-7, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2, before leaving the court without signing autographs, chuntering to himself repeatedly, saying "it's a joke."
