Nick Kyrgios v Antoine Hoang Head to Head
Kyrgios and Hoang have no previous history.
Kyrgios Facing Probable Suspension Ahead Of His Second Round Match
The bare facts of the first round match between Nick Kyrgios and Steve Johnson are that the Australian won and did so handsomely. But the aftermath of the encounter could lead to an imminent suspension on tour for Kyrgios if the ATP decides so.
The mercurial 24-year-old branded the ATP of being corrupt when asked on what he thought of his hefty $113,000 fine he was charged for his incredible meltdown in his defeat to Karen Khachanov in Cincinnati. Kyrgios’ fine is believed to be the biggest in history of tennis and it all boiled down to his feud with the umpire Fergus Murphy in an explosive outburst.
Despite US Open officials giving the green light on Kyrgios competing at the event, the Australian is back to his old tantrums and was left agitated when a fan interrupted his line of sight while serving in his match against Johnson. He was given a code violation warning for audible obscenity.
It will be interesting to see how the next day unfolds and how the ATP will respond to Kyrgios’ shocking sentiments in his presser.

Will Hoang Take Advantage Of Kyrgios’ On-Court Troubles?
Antoine Hoang is enjoying a breakthrough year on tour in 2019. He took advantage of his wildcard at the French Open where he reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career. That run included an impressive win over former top-10 player Fernando Verdasco in the second round. In fact, prior to Roland Garros, he had only tasted one victory on the main-tour.
Hoang is currently at a career-high ranking of No.104 ahead of his second round meeting against Kyrgios. The 23-year-old took out the experienced Argentine Leonardo Mayer in the opening round in five sets, a performance which portrays his potential and ability to perform at this stage.
Will he have the game to trouble and send Nick Kyrgios packing?
