2nd straight year the kid finds himself in a 5 set night match. This time, though, the outcome is different.

Where is Paire when you need him?
Thank god Nick came though. Delbonis in the 2nd round here would just be awful.
Kyrgios finally gets a win on AO, correct me if I'm wrong, and good tough win, that could be helpful later on (although it could draining). That being said, Delbonis did well now on 2 straight HC Slams. Maybe an improvement on his game later on (strong DTL FH and sometimes good BH too although he has a very weird serve). For Kyrgios I hope he is prepared for his next match.
Nice one Kyrgios. Delbonis was good as well, really held on tight in that 4th set. Good first round match.
#53 in live rankings. Will break top 50 if wins tomorrow in live ranking.

He beat Benjamin Becker last year. 2nd round or better at all Slams by 18 and a half. Karlovic will be an interesting match.

He beat Becker in R1 last year. Don't see him getting past Karlovic in R2 tbh
I'm sorry but this douchebag is completely unlikable in my opinion and I can't sleep at night with the prospect of him being shoved down my throat every summer for the next 10 years.

Congrats to him, though.

Too much servebotting for my taste, m8

For comparison, future double digit slam winner Dimitrov achieved this at the US Open in 2014!
Kyrgios relied on his strong serve & Delbonis produced good shots

He does have a dodgy back at the moment, so i doubt he is playing at the top of his game.:shrug:
