Middle of a rally, for no reason, Nick plays the tweener and successfully. Crazy. In the end they had to replay the point, but this one looks to get a bit wacky.

 

[kskate2]

Uncle Sam dismisses the defending champ in straights and could setup a rematch w/ Novak depending on what Nicky has to say.

 

[Carol]

Maybe Kyrgios has played a couple of great matches since he became profesional but out of that I can't understand why some people think that could be a future #1, come on, he is just a clown and a lot worse player than Monfils

 

[Moxie]

Nick's drop shots aren't good enough and Novak is him beating on them every time. He still makes questionable shot choices. This is where a coach would help. (For one thing.)

Nick had the only BP in the first set and made some questionable shot choices,agree about a coach,though his serve has been 'on song' so far,Novak hasnt been able to read it soo far.

They just said he's won 7-8 of his 2nd serves. Ooph...and he finally got the drop shot right and blew the pass.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Gee Nick that bhand down the line was a 'sitter' for you? 3all in the t/break.

 

[Moxie]

It's hard to have faith in Nick's head in this TB, but he's in there so far: 3-3.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Double Fault for Nick serving at 6-4.....Oh My

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I feel Nick has to win the first set to have any chance in the match,cant see him winning in 3 sets
Great serving from Nick,2 Huge serves.

 

[Moxie]

And then he serves himself out of trouble. I'll say this: he knows he has to keep his head playing Novak.

He does. He won't hold his head from behind. Or, if he were to, it might be the maturing of Nick Kyrgios.

 

[Moxie]

Hopefully we don't get another 20-18 TB like Murray-Kohlscreiber today.

It is 'early days' he is like a 'loose canon'....can go off at any time

 

[Moxie]

NICK TAKES IT! Wow...it's a match.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

SP No 4 for Nick and he Does It ....serves 16 aces so far.....9-7 in the t.breaker

 

[Moxie]

Great set from Kyrgios. He had a few issues with calls and didn't let them get to him. That's a good sign. And he's serving out of his head.

 

[kskate2]

He is a bigger clown than Monfils mentally, but I have to disagree that he's a worse player. He is dripping w/ talent that Le Monf could only dream of.

kS that's false..there's nothing on the court that crazy Nicky can do that Gael can't duplicate..

Nick is on his happy meds so far..he is plying unbelievable. all Novak has to do is stay in the match and weathered the storm..the happy meds may eventually wear off,..
