Wayward tennis star Nick Kyrgios's season is over after the Australian received a ban and $32,000 fine following his poor behaviour during the Shanghai Masters.

Kyrgios received a ban of up to eight weeks by the ATP - reduced to three weeks if he met certain conditions laid down by the sport's governing body including seeing a sport's psychologist.

The world No.14 had a meltdown at the recently completed tournament in China, and had already been fined $22,000 for lack of best effort, verbal abuse of a spectator and unsportsmanlike conduct.
