Nick Kyrgios said he was not bothered the BBC had to apologise for his language during his win over Kyle Edmund at Queen's Club yesterday. The Australian beat the British No. 1 7-6 (7/3), 6-7 (5/7), 6-3 but ended the second-round Fever-Tree Championships match by swearing at his player's box in frustration at missing a match point. A number of obscenities were clearly picked up by television microphones and the BBC commentator had to apologise to viewers.

History of indiscipline
Kyrgios has a long history of indiscipline on the court and this latest misdemeanour did not trouble him. Asked about the fact the BBC had to apologise on air for his language, the Australian said: "Fine. I don't care." When asked if outbursts like that were something he would like to keep under control, he replied to the journalist: "Do you swear? No, do you swear? Yes or no? Yes or no? Do you swear? Do you swear? Okay, great. Good question."
