Murphy clearly, intentionally pushed Kyrgios' buttons last night. Kyrgios was playing a good match, but Fergus just couldn't have that apparently. And so he decided to begin starting the serve clock early. When Nick complained, Fergus just grinned back at him as he knew he had accomplished his goal of angering Kyrgios. Fergus pushed Kyrgios to the tipping point and then sat back and admired his handiwork. Fergus refused to default Kyrgios as he should have, instead letting Kyrgios continue as it ultimately gets more attention for himself as well. It is disgusting for an umpire to love to be the center of attention this much. This isn't the first time the dreaded Fergus has pissed off the best players. Djokovic, Federer, and Roddick are among them just to name a few. He truly is the worst umpire on the tour.
