Australia's Nick Kyrgios became the last player to reach the second round of the US Open by defeating American Steve Johnson 6-3, 7-6 (7/1), 6-4 early Wednesday morning.
Kyrgios, seeded 28th, fired 24 aces to four for Johnson and made eight double faults, twice Johnson's total.
"To have a performance like that is pretty special," Kyrgios said. "I don't take these days for granted."
"ATP is pretty corrupt anyway. I'm not frustrated at all."
He later added, "I'm fined 113K for what?"
He also called the umpire "rubbish", "a disgrace" and "the worst ref in the game."
"I was hitting the ball really well. I was happy to get done in three sets."
"Regardless of who I play I know I can beat anybody on the other side of the net."
