Nick Kyrgios' quarterfinals loss to Benoit Paire at the Japan Open in Tokyo showcased the delicate position in which the 20-year-old Australian finds himself.

Whether reaching the quarterfinals at a 500-level tournament or losing in the first round at the U.S. Open, Kyrgios will be scrutinized based on his on-court behavior. If he wants to change that, it starts with rewriting the script he's helped pen on himself.

The ATP stated Kyrgios could avoid suspension if he did not incur fines for verbal or physical abuse totaling $5,000 at any ATP tournament and does not accumulate fines totaling more than $5,000 for any other offenses at ATP-sanctioned tournaments.

About a month into his "probationary" period, Kyrgios seems to have relocated his game and ditched the on-court behavior that got him into trouble.

So far, he hasn't been fined at all. However, that hasn't stopped people from characterizing his actions. Make no mistake, Kyrgios is responsible for the white hot light spotlighting his behavior. Instead of getting the benefit of the doubt afforded...
