Nick Kyrgios has received a suspended 16-week ban and $25,000 (£20,300) fine for “aggravated behaviour”, subject to a six-month probationary period.

The Australian smashed two racquets in a bad-tempered Cincinnati Masters defeat by Karen Khachanov in August.

He was later fined $113,000 (£93,254) for five separate offences.
