Google News Roger Federer’s wife Mirka BOOS Nick Kyrgios during match! (PIC AND VIDEO INSIDE)
by GIOVANNI LAROSA
TV cameras caught Roger Federer's wife joining in as the crowd booed Nick Kyrgios during a tense Miami Open semi-final match. The Federer fans turned on the heat to Kyrgios during the gripping three-set encounter, booing the Aussie on several occasions.
This when Kyrgios threw a racquet during the first set, and although he didn't even receive a warning the crowd was not impressed. The ESPN telecast shot to Mirka sitting in Federer's box, catching her joining in the booing by whistling.
And people across the globe were not impressed, taking shots at Mirka for her unsportsmanlike behaviour. Here is Mirka’s picture and what people thought about it!
Just watched it back and it does look like Mirka might've been one of the spectators whistling jeeringly at Kyrgios' mid-game racket change? pic.twitter.com/HXxFGbwtdr — Ben Rothenberg (@BenRothenberg) April 1, 2017

Horrible sportsmanship from Mirka Federer.
If others did this there would be uproar. Wawrinka knows it. #MiamiOpen #Kyrgios https://t.co/evfFEzMO11 — Pete Skaf (@peteskaf) April 1, 2017
This @NickKyrgios vs @rogerfederer match is brilliant entertainment. Crowd cheering against Kyrgios (including Mirka Fed whistling at him!) — Nathan Templeton (@nathantemp7) April 1, 2017
Surprising that Mirka didn't whistle at her husband over those medical timeouts Down Under.
