That flew so wide on Novak. 6-2 Nick.

Kyrgios hits a 200+ km/h second serve in the tiebreak. Wow. How does he wear those shorts with balls that big?
He was calm and collected for 95% of the match, and as I am writing this, he has 4 match points.
Staggering.


Edit: CONGRATS YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND!
Novak couldn't win the match today, he couldn't even win the hot shot of the day, but he won the racquet smash of the day, if anything. Not as good as Zverev's or Thiem's smashes, but he was good today.

And Kyrgios wins but the good news for his next opponent is that he won't serve so well in the next match B-)

Kyrgios is the real deal. Very impressed. Now time for bed. Novak's 19 match streak here is over.

I never seen someone make the game so uncomfortable for Novak..

Federer ? :p

Not like this..Novak is in dire straits!

Federer has beaten Novak way worse than this on many occasions and well past his prime too.

This is a lot of what we've been hoping for from Kyrgios. When it matters, he's been more workman-like and dedicated. I hope he gets a coach soon. It's great to play with instinct, when you've got instincts and game like that, but the long-run is a different story.
