<\/p>\nFURIOUS Nick Kyrgios led the angry reaction to Alexander Bublik's alleged disablist on-court slur.<\/p>\n
Kazakhstani Bublik, 26, crashed out of the US Open first round in pathetic fashion to 2020 champion Dominic Thiem.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The No25 seed lost 6-3 6-2 6-4 in just one hour 52 minutes on Grandstand court – including one service game where he dropped four double faults.<\/p>\n
He will receive \u00a365,000 in prize money for his embarrassing efforts, which included smashing a racket against the court and claiming: "I don't want to travel here anymore," to his team as his first-round exit loomed.<\/p>\n
However, there was one comment he reportedly made as he trailed 6-3 4-1 that sparked outrage.<\/p>\n
As he prepared to receive at 30-0 and the camera was fixed on Thiem, Bublik is overheard making a comment in his native Russian by the microphones. <\/p>\n
It is claimed the remark translates to: "I am f***ing sick of giving careers back to disabled people."<\/p>\n
Bublik's latest defeat to Thiem comes after recent losses to veterans Stan Wawrinka and Gael Monfils.<\/p>\n
All three tennis stars have had lengthy lay-offs due to injury and wins over controversial hot-head Bublik have helped on their road to recovery. <\/p>\n
And Bublik's vile remark was slammed on social media.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Injured Kyrgios, who is absent from the US Open but never far from criticism for his own behaviour, raged: "This is low key horrible."<\/p>\n Another viewer said: "Bublik says s***y things practically every other match. This is disgusting even by his standards though."<\/p>\n A third added: "Tremendous lack of respect."<\/p>\n And a fourth commented: "Pathetic behaviour from Bublik."<\/p>\n Thiem – who landed his first Grand Slam win since January 2021 – was asked about the comment during his press conference.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cI don\u2019t know if the translation is right. If it is, then it\u2019s a tough saying. Something you shouldn\u2019t say in general just out of respect. <\/p>\n "But maybe he didn\u2019t mean it that way or whatever. But what can I say about it.\u201d<\/p>\n Bublik has the ability to be both sublime and ridiculous on court – but his apparent utterance against Thiem was clearly unacceptable.<\/p>\n Last year, he was blasted for playing an "idiotic" shot with the handle of his racket at a crucial point in a final.<\/p>\n And in February, he obliterated three rackets one after the other in a spectacular meltdown. <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/GIF-LASCELLES.gif?strip=all&w=300&h=192&crop=1\")
