Nick Kyrgios spent
the entire warm up to his match with Rafa Nadal in an LA Lakers shirt in tribute to Kobe Bryant. Photograph: Quinn Rooney/Getty Images Irrepressible but outmatched, Nick Kyrgios departed the AustralianOpen with a
fourth-round defeat at the hands of world No1 Rafael Nadal, who took the match 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (4) at the Rod Laver Arena. Containing some of the most thrilling tennis of the tournament, the three-and-a-half-hour tussle reached fever pitch in an electric third set, which Nadal won in a tiebreak, then chiselled his way to victory. Resilient in defeat, Kyrgios lost no fans. NICK KYRGIOS GOES FOR BROKE IN TENNIS PUNCH-UP BUT ENDS ON THE FLOORRead more
After a scrappy start, Nadal broke as early Kyrgios’s second service game, a drawn-out affair and a microcosm of the night, in which the Australian veered between his brilliant best and frustrating worst: twice he erred with drop shots when he had his opponent on the ropes. Quirky and captivating as ever, Kyrgios looked outdone for both power and precision in the early stages. Scything forehands that had flashed past his previous opponents’ rackets were now coming back with interest. His unpredictability, previously his trump card, now seemed to be confusing Kyrgios himself more than his opponent. There was also the curious case of the Australian’s approaches to the net, whose frequency are a tactical mystery at the best of times, because he’s not an especially gifted volleyer. Here they looked like suicide missions: five of them in the first set won him just a single point, and after 36 minutes Nadal had taken it. It usually pays to not read much into the preliminaries at blockbuster matchups like this, but a stadium announcer had the bright idea of asking the crowd who they were barracking for just before the players’ arrival. The question elicited a clear verdict: the roar for Nadal was twice as loud as that for the local. Perhaps it merely spoke of the triumph of commerce over patriotism: even via official channels, general admission tickets for this match were selling for 480 Australian dollars. Sign up to The Recap, our weekly email of editors’ picks. But it said something else just as clearly: centre court is for winners. No longer could Kyrgios draw inspiration from his motley supporter base in the cheap seats across at Melbourne Arena. From the outset, Nadal’s supporters loudly reminded him of the events in Acapulco last February. Kyrgios actually won that battle, underarm serves and all, but Nadal claimed afterwards that he “lacks a little respect”, which on one hand is a little like saying the sky is blue, and on the other, a little beside the point of Kyrgios. The animus between the pair is longstanding and genuine. NIGEL SEARS RETURNS TO SCENE OF COLLAPSE FOR ANETT KONTAVEIT’SQUARTER-FINAL
Read more
The second set tonight began inauspiciously for Kyrgios, who bungled his way into a marathon service game, quickly presenting Nadal with two break points. Already it felt like crunch time. The Australian saved them both, the second with a ’tweener that thrilled the crowd but could just as easily have lost him the point. “Say something!” he screamed at his player box soon after. What was really needed at this point was for Kyrgios to do something. Eventually he did, holding his serve, but it was a lot of hard yakka just to stay in the match. What followed went against both the early momentum and basic probability. Kyrgios reached desperately and floated a forehand winner down the line to break Nadal’s serve and lead 3-1. There followed two Kyrgios aces, and just past the hour mark, as he held serve with an emphatic love game, the momentum was tilting. Serving for the second set, Kyrgios sealed it with a pair of aces, wrapping it up in 46 minutes. Now he’d won every net point for the set, and walked to his chair with dead-eyed focus.ZVEREV

The tiebreak was manic. Down 3-1 in a flash, Kyrgios smashed his racket into pieces and threw it to a fan in the front row. The fan dropped it. The mistakes were contagious. Both players missed the sort of put-aways they’d nail 99 times out of 100. From 4-1 down Kyrgios drew level at 5-5. Then he double-faulted, and Nadal, on serve, had his chance to seal it. To howls of shock, he double-faulted too. But with a wild forehand, Kyrgios conceded the set in 72 of the most compelling minutes of the tournament. Nadal’s brilliance is so well honed at this point that his part in the show was entirely expected. That Kyrgios was so close to the mark meant he’d performed wellabove expectations.
With that, Kyrgios’s chances seemed to have passed and you felt that Nadal’s ruthlessness would come to the fore in the fourth set. The Australian’s serve deserted him completely at one point and Nadal had the early break. Leading 4-2 in the deciding set, he even stopped to enquire after the health of a prostrate Kyrgios, like the guy who reaches for the restaurant bill after someone else has put their card down. But there was another twist in store. Serving for the match at 5-4, Nadal conspired to hand Kyrgios two break points and the Australian pounced. The battle was alive again, and destined foranother tiebreak.
Read more
What was evident tonight, and what Kyrgios’s remaining detractors don’t understand, is that modern sport is not just about winning, losing and giant pay cheques. Sometimes it’s also not about noble concepts like sportsmanship or honouring the game. Its central place in the culture is reliant on precisely the kind of star power that Kyrgios and very few others bring to the tennis – what he brought here. Not just his skill, but his volatility, his incandescent glow, and his complete otherness among conventional, dependable winners like Nadal. Kyrgios is playing their game but he is not of it. The result is that he attracts the eyeballs of people who could take or leavetennis otherwise.
“Against Nick, you are never under control,” Nadal said afterwards. But at 24, Kyrgios is yet to go close to claiming the grand slam trophy of which he is capable. In this Australian summer, displaying a patriotic fervour and no small amount of guts, he has at least won some of his home country’s coldest hearts. AMERICA FACES AN EPIC CHOICE... ... in the coming year, and the results will define the country for a generation. These are perilous times.

Kyrgios's 'unconventional' approach to the sport may make headlines and grab some people's attention, but, when all is said and done, Nadal will be remembered for being one of the greats and Kyrgios, at this rate, will just be a footnote in the history of the game. Ultimately, sport is about winning, losing, playing to the best of your ability, and respect for game and opponent - whether there is a big pay cheque at the end or not.

Kyrgios played extremely well here, but the way in which Rafa was returning some of those serves was insane. Pro players must be wondering what they have to do to win a damn point against Nadal when he is like a Terminator programmed to return and run after everything, forcing his opponent to do the same, and somewhere along the line the opponent just can't keep up at that level. Kyrgios, to his credit, did try to run and return as much as Rafa w…Jump to comment

Never has the adjective 'mercurial' been more apt for someone as it is for Nick Kyrgios. Love him or loathe him, he is undeniablyblockbuster.
For all his clowning around and tanking antics (the latter of which is clearly unacceptable), Kyrgios is notably more outwardly sporting than many of his competitors - the sheer number of times he'll call out a good shot from his opponents is incredible in the heat of battle. And he was gracious in defeat…Jump to comment

It's such a shame Nadal will have a day less rest if he reaches the final. It cost him in 2017 when Federer had an extra day's rest and it will cost him against (probably) Djokovic this year. The Australian Open need to sort it out, for the sake of sportingintegrity.

Nadal is SO self-righteous and pious. Once again, we see that from one of the top 3 players, using their post match comments to act as self-appointed "guardians of the game." Lecturing other players (and us) on how they "should" be. Maybe a bit of an overreaction by me, but I'm NO kyrgios fanboy. I find him an honest and interesting personality, who's definitely acted like a child on a few occasions, and deserved punishment andcriticism.

Excellent summary, Russell. Nick is getting there. He now wants to win, which should help his focus and control in the future. But he is well aware of the dark places he can go when stress and anxiety getthe better of him.

In the 4th set Rafa lost both his serve and depth of rally shot, frequently landing his ground strokes inside the service line. I thought that Nick could pull it out. But Rafa found both in time to win. In the past when playing well behind the base line and coming up short Rafa has been vulnerable almost human.Reply

I am not keen of Nadal for all his twitching and grunting but he beat Kyrgios by being mentally tough. Too many times Kyrgios gave away soft points by attempted drop shots from behind the base line of casual forehands into the net. Not so with Nadal, nothing casual about him.Reply

Kyrgios game is low percentage. High risk, trick shots, throwing in underarm serves and serving big on 2nd serve. Sometimes these tactics work but more often than not they don't because they are low percentage. That's the reason why Kyrgios can pull off a few upsets but has only got to the quarters of a slam twice in his career.Reply

"incandescent glow and his complete otherness" Really? Kyrgios is still living off his Wimbledon 4th round win against Nadal in 2014. Since then he has only got as far as a quarter final of a slam once more and that was in 2015 at the Australian Open 5 years ago. What is it about commentators that think Kyrgios is some sort of tennis god? He's more like a pantomime dame playing to the cheeps seats. Surprised that Nadal still lets him get under his skin. Perhaps Kyrgios does expose a weakness in Nadal. Not in his tennis but in the way he can be unsettled by players who try to get under his skin. Kyrgios is not the first. I can remember Soderling playing the same sort of games and recently Fognini to a lesser extent.Reply

Kyrgios reminds me a bit of Murray in his early years, putting aside Kyrgios's antics. You could see Murray had the potential if he could just keep it together for an entire match, but he seemed to have these mental blocks every match. Murray surprised me by suddenly finding that mental steel mid-career. But if I was a betting man I wouldn't put money on Kygios changing his stripes. He'll win more, cause more upsets, but I can't see him lasting the entire tournament to win a major. It's not just their strokeplay that sets Nadal, Djokovic and Federer apart, it's their mental toughness. Kygios has improved in this regard, but something tells me this is about as good as it getsfor him

Great game of tennis and Kyrgios is definitely a talent and put up a great fight, but Nadal won the mental battle (unsurprisingly)and played the smarter shots in the longer rallies . Kyrgios is still painfully disrespectful to officials when things are going wrong. Even at the start of this match he waved his arm condescendingly in the direction of the lines official who got a call wrong (as if he’s never made a mistake in his life). Last match when the umpire was about to give him a time violation (wrongly as Kyrgios was bleeding) he proceeded to immediately call the umpire stupid. His behavior is getting better but he’s still abusive.Reply

It says a lot about Krrgios that he lost because Nadal was just a better player on the night. That is it. He didn't lose because he lost it mentally. He lost because Nadal is just one of the greatest players off all time who produced another incredible display. There is no shame in that. But Krrgios has shown an ability which potentially puts him in the top 10 in the world. If he were to catch one of the top 3 on a bad night there's a good chance he could win, as he has done in the past. If he can keep his shit together then we can really go far.Reply

What an unfortunate apologia for ugly behaviour and its obnoxious perpetrator. Trying to elevate it on to some higher, almost spiritual plain, as this piece does, is truly regrettable. Kyrgios has obvious genius level talent but none of it should be used as justification for his juvenile tantrums. He should be banned from the circuit until he gets it. He's been indulged for way too long and we see the result in a brat who's continually spoiled.Reply

First of all, well done Kyrgios! To the Aussie fans that supported Nadal over Nick (I doubt that all Nadal fans were Spaniards), get a life! I admit, Nick is not very likeable, but to support an opponent of an Australian athlete on Australian day, is very un - Australian!!!! The same people are propably the ones that accuse new Australians of not assimilating fast enough and don't like Australia!!Reply

"Jingoism" means "extreme patriotism, especially in the form of aggressive or warlike foreign policy". How does the OP's call to support an Australian on Australia Day (it wasn't Australia Day) amount to an "extreme patriotism, especially in the form of aggressive or warlike foreign policy"? I can see jingoism becoming another hyper-bollocks (made up word meaning hyperbolic bollocks) term in the never ending culture wars. Why use the term "sexism "when you can go nuclear and use the termmisogyny?
If you want to really add an extra bit of spice add the word "toxic". Toxic jingoism. It doesn't get more hyper-bollocks than that. Personally I see sport as a useful vehicle for harnessing our inherent tribalism. Best to leave it on the pitch and then return to being nice to each other off the pitch. There's nothing wrong with calling for all Aussies to support an Aussie on the day after Australia Day. I mean even if it was re-branded to Invasion Day you could still argue that we should all support Aussies on Invasion Day since whatever its name it's uniquelyAussie......

It was a great match - Nadal's defence is absolutely stunning - so many times when Kyrgios hit what appeared to be a certain winner, Nadal would somehow get it back. Kyrgios as enigmatic as ever - some fantastic tennis mixed with a number of poorly advised approaches to the net. The better player won the match but both players deserve credit for an entertaining game and Nick even behaved pretty wellthroughout.

Kyrgios' serve is almost the equal of 'Pistol' Pete Sampras, one of the greatest champions of the game. If Nick can rein in his volatile (and juvenile) temperament & make his return game a little more aggressive he can dominate the game. To do this he will need a coach who can allow his talent to bloom while hardening the Kyrgios mind. Someone like John McEnroe....Reply

Damn, he lost, I was hoping he would go all the way. Nick's professionalism isn't always the best, but for anyone watching, he is always exciting That was a very close match and it could have gone either way Ibelieve.
Congratulations to Raffa for the win. He earned the win for his never say attitude and skills he displayed. Will we see a better side to Nick from now on, because he is still very exciting to watch without all the carry-on? Let's hope.Reply
