(Reuters) - Two weeks after receiving a record six-figure fine for his latest on-court meltdown, Nick Kygrios returns to the U.S. Open with questions swirling over whether the mercurial Australian will ever mature in time to fulfil his vast potential.

Kyrgios, the 28th seed who will play American Steve Johnson in the first round on Tuesday, arrives in New York on the back of a second round loss at the Cincinnati Masters where he again made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
