Nick Kyrgios of Australia celebrating in a more television friendly manner.

Nick Kyrgios' on court antics have forced the BBC into an on air apology during the Queens Club Championships.

Playing in the precursor to Wimbledon, the Australian tennis star was pictured simulating a sex act with his water bottle during a change of ends.

He concluded his act by spraying water from the bottle onto the court, before smiling at someone in his players box.

The BBC, who were televising the semifinal match between Kyrgios and Marin Cilic, apologised for that was seen.

Kyrgios lost the match 7-6 7-6 to Cilic, who goes on to face Novak Djokovic in the tournament final.

The incident came after Kyrgios unloaded a number of F-bombs live on air during his earlier match against Kyle Edmund.

Again, the BBC apologised to their viewers for what their microphones had picked up.
