(Reuters) - Australian Nick Kyrgios has been given a suspended 28-day ban and $25,000 fine for the vulgar comments he directed towards Stan Wawrinka at the Rogers Cup earlier this month, the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) said on Monday.

The ATP said the 20-year-old had been found guilty of "aggravated behaviour" during the second round match in Montreal, when Kyrgios's comments about Wawrinka's alleged girlfriend were picked up by on-court microphones.
