‘I’m not playing’: Nick Kyrgios’s bad boy image shows up in his FIRST MATCH at …

'I'm not playing until he comes out. Are you serious? I know the rules. That's a replay (of the point).'

Kyrgios was allegedly heard muttering 'dirty scum, unbelievable' soon after the decision to award Schwartzman the point was made. 

While he lost the point, the Australian star didn't let it faze him and he went on to beat Schwartzman 6-0 6-2 7-6(6).

The Wimbledon hopeful is known for his outlandish comments and unpredictable behaviour including swearing on the court and ferociously throwing his tennis racquet, leaving people questioning his attitude.

In May the rising star, who is estimated to be worth over one million, lost his cool at the French Open after crashing out in a 6-4. 6-2, 6-3 defeat against tennis ace Andy Murray.

Kyrgios was furious at the umpire's decision to award the point to Argentina's Diego Schwartzman

'I'm not playing until he comes out. Are you serious? I know the rules,' Kyrgios said 

The 20-year-old said he would not continue playing unless a tournament official intervened 

The fiery young sports star also hit headlines in January when he lashed out with frustration during the Australian Open

While he lost the point, the Australian star didn't let it faze him and he went on to beat Schwartzman (pictured) 6-0 6-2 7-6(6)

'I couldn't give two s**** about this' he was heard muttering during the game and days later he admitted that he was 'battling mentally a bit' after back-to-back losses at the French Open and Queens.

Kyrgios, who is known as one of Australia's most exciting prospects, regularly is seen in discussion with umpires and received a code violation during the game for smashing a ball out of the stadium in frustration. 

The fiery young sports star also hit headlines in January when he lashed out with frustration during the Australian Open.

Kyrgios used his racquet to vent during a tense game in the second set against Andy Murray, hitting himself on the head and breaking his racquet when he threw it down.

He was also widely critisised for his expletive-filled rants towards the crowd during the Australian Open when a group of three tennis fans left early.

In the heat of the moment, Kyrgios interrupted his own match as he called out at the fans: 'Oi! Where are you going?' as the crowd laughed.

Australian fans celebrated following Kyrgios' win as Diego Schwartzman walked by 

However despite his behaviour on the court Nick Kyrgios reminded Wimbledon fans of the destructive weapons that shook up the tournament last year by powering into the second round

A year after the towering Australian stunned then world number one Rafa Nadal to become the first man to reach the last eight on his Wimbledon debut since 2004, he cranked up the firecracker forehand to crush Argentine Schwartzman 6-0 6-2 7-6(6)

Kyrgios tore through the first set in 17 minutes, eased through the second and, after suffering a brief wobble in the third, sealed victory in a close-fought tiebreaker

During the men's singles match against Andreas Seppi, Kyrgios he was heard yelling out 'turn off your f***ing phone mate' after a loud ringtone echoed through Hisense Arena.

And when someone yelled out during a crucial serve deep in the fifth set he caustically fired off: 'Are you right, mate?' after losing the point.

He has yet to realise the enormous potential he showed in crunching through the Wimbledon draw last year, injury and loss of form interrupting his progress in 2015

The world number 29 split with coach Todd Larkham a week before Wimbledon, but it seems to have had little negative impact if his 85-minute win on the opening day of the Championships was anything to go by

He went on to beat Schwartzman 6-0 6-2 7-6(6) in a lopsided win and is through to the second round of the Wimbledon men's singles

He had too much raw power for the 63rd-ranked Schwartzman who looked thoroughly out of his depth as the sun shone on Court Two and the yellow hordes of Australian fans serenaded their favourite to victory

Kyrgios is known for his outbursts and is regularly seen approaching the umpire's seat 

He is also a fan of wearing his headphones on the court as he prepares for his match
