2022 BNP Paribas Open: Nick Kyrgios dragged the actor Ben Stiller into a row with a spectator


During a tennis match (2022 BNP Paribas Open) on March 17, 2022, Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios dragged the actor Ben Stiller into a row with a spectator during his stormy defeat to Rafael Nadal at Indian Wells, California.

 


Nick Kyrgios started with a bang but then exploded in all the wrong ways as he went down to Rafael Nadal in a tense grudge match. Nick Kyrgios’ furious temper tantrums featured heavily in a dramatic loss to Rafael Nadal when they met in the quarter-finals at Indian Wells. Nadal won the wild showdown 7-6 5-7 6-4 but some angry outbursts provided as much entertainment as the actual tennis.

Ben Stiller with his wife Christine Taylor were sitting in the front row behind the baseline when someone in the crowd ticked Kyrgios off, perhaps suggesting where he should serve or what he should try to disrupt Nadal. When Kyrgios asked: "Are you playing? Are you good at tennis?", the heckler replied "no". Then the tennis player drew on a real-life example and used Stiller to make his point: "Exactly, so don’t tell me how to play. Do I tell him how to act?" Kyrgios said as he pointed at Ben Stiller.
