The US Open umpire criticised for giving Australia's Nick Kyrgios a pep talk has been hit with a two-week suspension, reports said.
Swedish official Mohamed Lahyani triggered controversy last month after coming down from his chair to give advice to Kyrgios during his second round game against Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
The US Open later said Lahyani "went beyond protocol" with his conduct.
"I want to help you," Lahyani could be heard telling Kyrgios, who was a set and 3-0 down at the time.
"This isn't you. I know that. I have seen your matches. You are great for tennis."
