Christos Kyrgios, the brother of controversial tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios, was dumped during his radio interview in Sydney after delivering what seemed to be a coarse remark on the issue surrounding his brother, 2-time grand slam winner Stan Wawrinka, world no. 76 Thanasi Kokkinakis, and upcoming WTA star Donna Vekic.

Christos said in his interview that Wawrinka deserved the insulting comment from Nick during their second round Rogers Cup match after accusing the younger Kyrgios of faking an injury in a previous face-off. 

According to News.Com.Au, Christos told Triple M's The Grill Team that "If you're going to come and openly ... it's not even sledging, that's openly slandering someone after a match then I guess you can expect a bit of sledging back when you play them next."

Host Matty Johns answered Christos by saying, "I understand that Christos, the difference here is he's dragged innocent parties into it. He's dragged young Kokkinakis into it and more to the point, Donna Vekic ..."

Co-host Chris Page then made a sudden remark saying "Sorry, we've just had to dump Christos. He said something pretty crook" after Kyrgios blurted out "She likes Kokk" and went on to cut the line.

The radio incident was followed by a long Facebook post from Christos who accused Wawrinka of physically hurting his brother in the locker room after the match. The post was later on deleted.

On Thursday, the ATP World Tour fined Nick Kyrgios US$10,000 and served the world no. 41 a "Notice of Investigation" to determine if his actions also violated the Player Major Offence provisions set forth under "Aggravated Behavior" or "Conduct Contrary to the Integrity of the Game" which, if proven, may result to more penalties or suspension.

Nick Kyrgios has already apologized for his actions through Facebook and hopes that everyone could move on from the incident.

"My comments were made in the heat of the moment and were unacceptable on many levels. In addition to the private apology I've made, I would like to make a public apology as well. I take full responsibility for my actions and regret what happened," he said.

Tennis Australia, meanwhile, agreed with the fine imposed by the ATP and released a statement that read: "Tennis Australia is working closely with Nick and his team to provide the best possible support; we understand how important it is to help educate and influence him both on and off the court."
