That's a good point, Nehmeth. Let's see him add the disciplines needed to construct points to follow a winning strategy. Sometimes the greatest performances are the least showy ones, but all the right moves are made. Murray was utterly calm and convincing today, without any need for fuss or attention. But Nick is young, and if defeats start to hurt him in the right way, he may respond positively. He's done very well in this tournament..
Hi Nehmeth,so far it's 2 QF's for a lad that's not even 20 years old.Since Nole & Andy I can not think of another younger player in 2 QF's @ Slams,that is under 20 years of age.There is work 2 be done with Kyrgios,but if he's willing to put the hard work in,i don't see a better youngster @ his age.

I agree with you sid. And 'if' he commits to the life of discipline required to harness and utilize the talent he has in abundance, I could become a fan. I just happen to believe that 'if' will be a much bigger hurdle for him.

It's about time that Muzz is playing well. He is a very smart player, he has strong legs and good serve but unfortunately because his back before and after the surgery his game was poor losing against anyone anytime. Now he seems to be more fitted and playing with more confidence, hope he continues this way and be able to lift the AO Trophy
If a big word Nahmeth,discipline,i hope comes from who's around him,keeping him on the right track.Time will tell for Kyrgios,i think he's on the right track @ 35th ranked after AO.

Game wise, he's far more aggressive than Monfils. I see him more of a Tsonga type, and expect him to be just as streaky.
Herios that's being very Picky if you don't mind me saying so.When working with Brad Gilbert Murray hurt his wrist if you can recall.

There is no guarantee if he was not hurt, he would have made a QF in a slam as a teenager.
And I do not see my statement being "very picky".
In fact, I was wrong, Andy was 21 when he reached his first QF, so I would not consider him a teenage phenom.

I happen to agree with your thoughts.Nick won 10 tour matches in 2014,of course defeating Nadal at Wimbledon at Grand Slam level he caught the attention of people and the media.
I also want to see in 2015 how Nick handles the day to day grind of the tour.
Nick has a explosive game,still there are area's of improvement.
I for one never got caught up in the media hype of Nick,nor do I for any other player.Let's see Nick and his racquet do the talking in 2015.When and if he happens to win a ATP event in 2015,I might revise my expectations of him.

Andy was 21 & one month,where did i say Andy was a teenage phenom?2007 Andy made the 4th round @ AO,but RG & wimby he never played.2008 QF wimby & runner up @ US open.Let's put it this way,Andy was not that old.Teenage phenoms i would have only Nadal as the last one

So had a look at the highlights, looks like Andy played some good aggressive tennis, moving well, moving his opponent about, pulling a handful of mad passing shots out of the bag, a good continuation of what he's done so far in this tournament.
Nick has played some good points too, obviously his forehand is big, some good drop shots and I actually thought his backhand looked better than I remember seeing it last year, I just think he needs to start to learn to introduce a bit more slice to his game to change the pace. Another weakness is his net play for me, that will be an important area for development for him.
He definitely reminds me a lot of Tsonga in the way he plays and his strengths, I will have my eye on him this year like everyone else. It is important, as mentioned by someone else, that he knuckles down and gets stuck in to the lesser tournaments on the tour as well.

Thus far in his career, if you take away his GS results, he was won one match on the ATP tour. Jon Wertheim pointed this out yesterday. I thought he was exaggerating for effect, until I checked the ATP site.

That's worse than I imagined. Well, he does have the talent and we'll see if he has the rest in the next few years.

That really is a shocking statistic. It is somewhat understandable for that to be the case after Wimbledon last year as I know at Roland Garros he was ranked low enough to need to qualify, but you'd expect him to have won more than one match after that.
Having reached two major QFs now and secured a ranking in the mid-30s, he should really start racking up the wins in minor tournaments now as at that kind of standing you'd expect him to be among the seeds in any ATP 250s and some of the ATP 500s as well.

I am not surprised by this stat. Before Wimbledon, he was ranked so low that he was playing just on the challenger tour.
Then right away after that he would have still needed WC for a few weeks to enter events, but he also had some injuries through the entire season.
The only 2 events he entered outside the US Open was Toronto masters where he had his first win over Giraldo, then he lost to Murray in R2, and he lost also to Matosevic at Kula Lumpur, then he announced he will not compete any further in 2014, citing he is burn out, disappointing Kieran by this statement.
So he played quite sporadically.
