Nick Kyrgios has been at it again.

The mercurial Australian smashed two racquets, shouted at the umpire and stormed off the court in his loss to Karen Khachanov at the Cincinnati Masters.

Russia's Khachanov ended up winning the second round match in three sets, claiming the final one 6-2 to reach the next round.

He'll now play Lucas Pouille in the last 16.
