Nadal shows diplomacy after Kyrgios incident with fan at Indian Wells

Rafael Nadal said he couldn't hear the exchange between Nick Kyrgios and a fan during their match at Indian Wells.The Australian turned to a member of the crowd and asked, "Are you good at tennis? Exactly, so why are you speaking" which prompted chuckles from the crowd. To reinforce his point, seconds later, he added, pointing his racket at Hollywood star Ben Stiller, who was also watching from the stands, "Do I tell him how to act? No", which drew even more laughter from spectators.

Nadal was diplomatic when asked what he thought of the incident after the game, adding that he has already stated his views on outbursts on-court and stressed that he has no problem at all with Kyrgios or any of his fellow tennis players.
