It's understands the ATP will let the major pass before deciding Kyrgios's fate after his "double standards" attack on the governing body.

Kyrgios ruffled feathers again when he accused the ATP of being corrupt in a post-match press conference after his round-one victory on Wednesday.

Kyrgios backtracked on his corruption comments, saying he was instead trying to accuse the ATP of double standards. His claim will be investigated under the Player Major Offence provision.

"I would like to go on record to clarify my comment around the ATP being corrupt, it was not the correct choice of words and my point and intention was to address what I see as double standards rather than corruption," Kyrgios said.

"I know my behaviour at times has been controversial and that has landed me in trouble, which at times is granted and valid but my issue is around others whether gaining the same, less or more media attention doing the same or similar behaviour and not being sanctioned.

"That's my issue and it continues to be. To be clear I know I'm not perfect and do not pretend to be and I acknowledge I've deserved fines and sanctioning at times but I expect consistency and fairness. To date that's not happened."

The off-court drama has overshadowed play at Flushing Meadows, with the Canberra junior to meet Frenchman Antoine Hoang in round two.

Kyrgios is the third-highest ranked player remaining in his quarter of the draw and the 24-year-old is set up for a controversial charge.

"Everyone in a grand slam can play a decent level of tennis, so regardless of who I play I know I can beat anyone on the other side of the net," he said.

"I know he's [Hoang] a young guy, he's been playing well.

"Nothing will change my end. I'm going to go out, I'm going to serve big and play big and see how it goes."

Kyrgios was among five Australians to venture to the second round of the men's singles this year and among four set for day four action.

"When I see these results, it makes me want to push harder but it makes me excited that Australia right now, the depth's pretty scary," he said.

"Obviously Thanasi [Kokkinakis] is massive. It's just so good to see someone I grew up with, who's been dealt unbelievably unlucky injuries - he's had to deal with so many rough patches in his career - to see him back.

"As soon as I saw the result, I was so happy for him.

"I sent him a video and it was just so good to see him pull up well.

"And obviously Thomo (Jordan Thompson) to beat (Joao) Sousa in straight sets, that's really, really good."
