The controversial 20-year-old was part of a Nike promotion in New York on Tuesday (AEST) alongside tennis’ biggest names.

Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, who both publicly criticised Kyrgios’ infamous sledge to Stan Wawrinka, were joined by Serena Williams, Eugenie Bouchard, Andre Agassi, Sampras and John McEnroe at the star-studded event.

The ATP imposed a suspended 28-day ban and further $25,000 US fine on Kyrgios on the day of promotion and Sampras also had some pointed advice for the Canberra product.

Kyrgios could do well to listen to the 14-time grand-slam champion.

If he breaks ATP rules between now and February 24, 2016 his ban and fine will be imposed.
