Overview
- In fresh UTS remarks amplified by ESPN Tenis, Kyrgios argued the 2022 final would have suited him more against Rafael Nadal than Novak Djokovic.
- He maintained he “couldn’t have played better,” pointing to a lost fourth-set tiebreak and being broken from 40–0 up in the third set as decisive swings.
- Djokovic won the championship match 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(3), a result Kyrgios linked to the Serb’s experience and steadiness under pressure.
- Nadal withdrew from their scheduled Wimbledon semifinal with an abdominal injury, giving Kyrgios a walkover into his first Grand Slam final.
- After months out with wrist and knee problems, Kyrgios returned in the Atlanta Cup exhibition, falling to Ben Shelton 7-6, 6-3 as he gauges a comeback.
