Way out of line.

Trolls have no idea.

Kyrgios erupted in the second set against Opelka, slamming umpire Joshua Brace for missing a call when he claimed a ground stroke from the American had gone beyond the baseline.

The Canberran was up 30-15 at 5-5, serving to stay in the match, when he lost the plot.

Kyrgios: “What do you mean you don’t know from there? Where are you supposed to sit then if you can’t see it?”

Umpire: “That’s why I called it in.”

Kyrgios: “It was out, bro.”

Umpire: “I didn’t know.”

Kyrgios: “It was right here.”

Umpire: “I can see.”

Kyrgios: “Then what are you doing then? What are you supposed to be doing?”

Umpire: “If I’m not 100 per cent, I can’t call it out from here. And I can’t check the line.”

Kyrgios: “So you’re telling me … on clay, he wins that point when the ball is out. So what are you guys actually doing out here then? Because there’s no Hawkeye and I can’t challenge it.”

Umpire: “If it is out, then I did miss it.”

Kyrgios: “Well, congratulations.”

Commentators said Kyrgios should have stopped the point if he believed it was out so the umpire could check the mark of where the ball landed.

Kyrgios registered an unforced error on the next point and continued to complain to the umpire as the match slipped out of his grasp.

“It’s f***ing out, it’s out of bounds on clay, how are you not calling it? How?” Kyrgios yelled.

“It’s an absolute joke bro. How are you missing that? How? I can’t do anything on clay though. It’s up to you guys to make that call. I can’t stop mid point.”

The umpire admitted he made a mistake, to which Kyrgios responded: “Yeah, well do you think it was a costly mistake? Do you think it was a costly mistake?

“What are you talking about, man? The ball is out, oh my god.”
