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.

Nick drops serve in first service game of 2nd set, now trails 1-3. Still competing well...
Go Nick - fight back.

Nick has break point at 2-4, but Ferrer saves..., leads 5-2. Ferrer wins 2nd set 6-3.

Gets doubles break on Nick to win 3rd set 6-2 and match 75 63 62.

Good performance by Nick by the World No.4

Very very proud of nick. Didnt shy away from the big stage, played with fire and belief all the while respecting his opponent. Created heaps of opportunities in break points in the first two sets and did himself justice. Awesome.

Latest rankings update - Nick now is credited with being the youngest player in the top 200 and the only teenager. He is well on the way to achieving his updated goal of the top 150 at the end of the year, now sitting at 186.

i really hope he can play both aussie challengers in october. would be a great chance to get points at home and continue the assault into top 100. so i hope he plays there

Pairs up with the 83rd ranked doubles player and loses 6-4 in the 5th against two top 20 doubles specialists playing with home ground advantage and choice of surface.

Kyrgios continues to impress!

Nick was absolutely annihilating that clown, so so badly he was too embarrassed to continue on hahahaha 8 winners by nick in the first 5 games, double break, playing at another level. That spineless human he was playing should be banned from the sport.

Maybe I was a little caught up in the heat of the moment. But still, robbing a debutant of his chance at a win is as low as you can go in my books. I guess my description of what I now think of that player, wasn't necessary though.

Great post. Gets me back on side for one.

It was clear it was never going to be much of a match and the opponent basically admitted defeat. I cannot see how this counts as anything other than a decisive win for Nick.
