Nick Kyrgios

NICK KYRGIOS followed up his singles and doubles titles win at the Citi Open with a first-round victory over Sebastian Baez in Montreal.

"But he's a hell of a player and it's incredible to see how he plays. He added: "I'd like to play 95 per cent of the draw in the next round but if it's anything like today, I know there's going to be a lot of balls coming back and it's going to be tough. He became the first person in history to win the men's singles and doubles titles in the same year at the Citi Open last week. Kyrgios feels full of confidence heading into the clash, but he's also fully aware of how tough it's set to be this evening. I'm a bit tired but I'm gonna try and give him a good run."

The win is Kyrgios’ second over a reigning World No. 1, after he defeated Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon in 2014.

An early break of the top seed's serve in the second set proved key as the Australian continued to dominate behind his delivery and level the match. After backing up his run to his maiden Grand Slam final at Wimbledon in June with his seventh ATP Tour title in Washington last week, Kyrgios has now won 14 of his past 15 matches. “This is the fourth meeting we’ve had and I’ve had some success against him in the past,” said Kyrgios, who improved his ATP Head2Head series record against Medvedev to 3-1 with the win.

Parfois, si on met de la pression sur lui, il craque, d’autres fois, non. « Habituellement, cela permet d’avoir des occasions tôt dans la deuxième manche, mais j’ai mal joué le premier jeu, il a fait le bris et il était déjà de retour dans le match. Cela dit, il a été très bon, a bien joué et m’a battu sans équivoque. Mais je crois que le résultat aurait pu être différent si nous nous étions affrontés plus tard cette semaine. Je n’étais pas vraiment à l’aise sur le court et j’ai raté quelques coups aux mauvais moments du match. Sur sa lancée, Kyrgios sera l’un des favoris aux Internationaux des États-Unis dans quelques semaines. Mentalement, tout commence par là. Je dois rester positif, penser à ma bonne série en ce moment et tabler sur ces succès. » C’est important que les grands joueurs soient performants dans des matchs comme ceux-là, cela maintient notre sport en vie. J’essaie de faire le minimum pour préserver mon énergie pour le match. Ce n’est qu’un match, je dois me préparer pour le suivant. Après avoir perdu le jeu décisif de la première manche, je me suis dit : “Pourquoi ne pas changer complètement ?” J’ai donc essayé de jouer service-volée sur pratiquement tous les points. « Ce n’est pas comme si je n’avais jamais battu le 1er mondial auparavant », a-t-il rappelé quand on lui a demandé comment il se sentait.

Ça fait un moment que je sers et retourne bien, donc je me suis dit que j'allais faire service-volée sur quasiment chaque point.
