Sorry for the somewhat premature thread but, as a Canberra born, I'm excited about Kyrgios.

Born: 27 Apr 1995
Birth place: Canberra, Australia
Plays: Right Handed (Double Handed Backhand)

Probably his biggest achievement to date came in doubles. He won (boys) Roland Garros and Wimbledon with Andrew Harris this year. His singles results have been coming along too, he recently won Canada (Grade 1) and made the quarters of Wimbledon and the US Open. Men's tour experience and results have been limited, but his showings have been respectable.

Already top 5 in juniors, he'll be one of the favourites for this year's u18 national championships and next year's junior Australian Open.

Plays Zverev in the final. Alexander is two years younger than Kyrgios (to the month), but already very good. He made the boys' Roland Garros final this month and clearly can play on grass as well.

Wow, tough loss. Although your ranking thread tells me that Chung in the 3rd highest ranked 17 year old so a very difficult 3rd round draw for Kyrgios. Chung won a Futures title last month.

Big Pass for Nick. If he can perform just as well in 2nd half of year, it will be spectacular.

He has pocketed 207 pts so far this year, with just 12 pts to defend, Huge upside for Nick.

PASS

Nick is currently training in Melbourne at the moment. Next tournament will be the week before the US Open. Either a tour event if he has the Australian reciprocal wildcard (probably going to Duckworth) or US Open qualifying

Good to hear Nick is training. Has he been injured?
Will not be good him going straight into US Open qualifying, or the US Open MD either, without any tour matches under his belt. He may be well rested but he will be lacking the edge you need to compete on the tour. He needs some solid matches under his belt.
