Young tennis star Nick Kyrgios enjoyed several feisty exchanges with the crowd during an intense round four clash with Italy's Andreas Seppi at the Australian Open.
But now the scrappy 19-year-old is facing accusations that he should have been disqualified after he swore at members of the crowd during Sunday's match.
As fans packed the Hisense Arena on day seven at the Australian Open, the Canberra teenager delivered an early Australia Day celebration with a victory at Melbourne Park.

But midway through the match he yelled out 'turn off your f***ing phone mate' after a loud ringtone echoed through Hisense Arena.
Later, 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 also spotted three spectators trying to sneak out early before he went on to stage a miracle comeback after a five-set triumph.
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.
With the roaring crowd yelling out 'boo' at the three fans, they immediately seated themselves back down as they giggled and appeared humiliated.

Christopher Clarey from the New York Times wrote that the 19-year-old was lucky his temper and language didn't earn him a disqualification.
'If chair umpire Fergus Murphy had better hearing or had applied the letter of the tennis law, Kyrgios could have been disqualified for three code-of-conduct violations on the first Sunday: just as John McEnroe was 25 years ago in the same round of the 1990 Australian Open,' Mr Clarey wrote.
'Instead, Kyrgios got just one warning after spiking his racket when he lost the first set. But there was plenty more negative energy as well as energy, period, on display.'
Kyrgios served his way out of trouble to notch a magical 5-7 4-6 6-3 7-6(5) 8-6 win to overcome the Italian, who had upset Swiss superstar Roger Federer in the third round.
But in his post-match interview the 19-year-old stayed coy about his recent flirty Twitter exchange with Victoria Azarenka.

Taking a break from the court on Saturday, Kyrgios asked fans to shoot him some questions. After some pretty standard chit chat, former women's world number one Azarenka decided to get in on the action, and she didn't hold back.
'How can I learn to serve as big as you?,' Azarenka flirtatiously asked the young tennis ace.
A cheeky, quick-witted Kyrgios immediately shot back: 'Private lessons of course'.
