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.
Nick KYRGIOS (AUS) [1] vs Evan HOYT (GBR) (WC)
Lucas MIEDLER (AUT) vs Benjamin BONZI (FRA)
Spencer PAPA (USA) vs Hyeon CHUNG (KOR)
Hugo DI FEO (CAN) vs Clement GEENS (BEL) [13]
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.
Kyrgios is going to lose 30 points from his singles points, and potentially another 90 (360/4) if he doesn't go anywhere in the doubles. This means that he could be in danger of losing his number 1 spot depending on how Zverev does.
Nick has announced that Wimbledon was his last Juniors event and is now focusing on the transition into the Seniors. Nice to start the transition ranked in the 200s though!
Yep big pass for Nick, looking forward to him (hopefully) playing the US hardcourt season and then coming home and unleashing on the Aussie spring series. Could be top 150 by the end of the year.
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.
Nah he hasn't been injured. That's a matter of opinion, I think Nick has proven he has the edge to compete anywhere. Been training solid for the last month and a bit working hard on fitness and strength.
Very interested to see how he goes, good luck to him
