US Open officials had given Kyrgios the green light to play the final slam of the year. But the ATP offered no timeline around when it would make any decision on the Australian’s fate.
Kyrgios has only previously been suspended once before – in late 2016 for eight tournament weeks over"conduct contrary to the integrity of the game"at the Shanghai Masters.
When asked about how he spent his time after the Cincinnati incident,Kyrgios said he spent all of last week fine-tuning his preparation for this week's major.
"I actually came to New York. I've just been training. To see that my training is carrying over to the matches is pretty good,"Kyrgios said.
"I felt like I was moving well,playing well. I think that week of training before paid off pretty well."
