LONDON (Reuters) - Australia's Nick Kyrgios has been fined a total of $17,500 (13,766 pounds) for unsportsmanlike conduct by the ATP after a series of outbursts at officials at the Queen's Club championships on Thursday.

The 23-year-old became embroiled in an expletive-laden rant at umpire Fergus Murphy in his first-round win against Spaniard Roberto Carballes Baena, at one point accusing a line judge of "rigging" his match.
