US Open: Nick Kyrgios dropped out, lost a great chance for the Grand Slam title – Sportnet.sk

NEW YORK. Nick Kyrgios knows more than anyone that he has lost the chance of a lifetime. Very, very difficult for someone who finally started to care about his work. That’s how respected tennis journalist José Morgado formulated his assessment of Nick Kyrgios’s exit on Twitter. But many fans probably thought something similar. Kyrgios lost in the quarterfinals of the US Open to Russian Karen Khačanov after a huge five-set battle that lasted about three and three-quarter hours 5:7, 6:4, 5:7, 7:6 (3). 4:6. After the match, he shook hands with his opponent and then smashed the racket he was holding in his hand. And then one more. Not that it’s strange to see Kyrgios getting angry and smashing rackets. But probably everyone who follows his story at least a little understood that this time it was different. Many a player would put his head in a towel and cry after such a loss. The Australian vented his sadness from the loss as follows. Lifetime chance “It’s devastating. It breaks my heart,” Kyrgios declared after the match. These words already indicated that there was something different.
