Toward the end of the 48-minute match, the crowd started booing and jeering. One man yelled, "Respect the game," prompting a furious reaction from Kyrgios, who shouted, "You want to come here and play?"
Asked after the match if he thought he owed the spectators a better effort as one of the stars of the game, he turned defiant again.
"What does that even mean? I'm good at hitting a tennis ball at the net. Big deal. I don't owe them anything," he said. "If you don't like it, I didn't ask you to come watch. Just leave."
On his soft serves, he replied flatly, "My arm was a little sore."
Kyrgios did admit he didn't put forth his best effort and was mentally drained after winning his third title of the season in Tokyo.
"I guess that's why I'm trying to work on being able to be consistent every week," he said. "Just took the easy way out tonight and obviously didn't show up at all."
