Nick Kyrgios has been fined 15,000 euros (£13,190) after an obscene action involving a water bottle at Queen's on Saturday.

The Australian, who is no stranger to controversy, was caught on camera performing an imitation of a lewd act at the change of ends during his semi-final loss to Marin Cilic.

He has been handed a hefty sanction by the ATP Tour for "inappropriate behaviour".

Kyrgios had entertained the crowds during his run to the Fever-Tree Championships semi-final as he beat Andy Murray and Kyle Edmund.

During his win over Edmund the BBC was forced to apologise to viewers after a string of Kyrgios expletives were audible on air, to which the Australian said he "did not care".
