Nick Kyrgios

NICK KYRGIOS is through to the Citi Open semi-finals after beating Frances Tiafoe in a late-night thriller.

Kyrgios was barely troubled on his serve with Tiafoe's head appearing to drop and the 27-year-old took full advantage as he secured the double break before serving out for the match. Tiafoe was resilient though as he pushed Kyrgios to his limits and soon found himself with the first match point at 6-5. The 24-year-old clearly hadn't managed to regain his composure in the third set though as Kyrgios soon took control.

Mikael Ymer is a big underdog in his Citi Open semifinal against Nick Kyrgios. In this first-ever Kyrgois vs Ymer meeting, he has no idea what to expect.

EMMA RADUCANU won the US Open last year at the age of 18.

And she could only progress to the second round at Wimbledon in June, where she lost to Caroline Garcia. The Briton reached the quarter-finals of the Citi Open in Washington this week before going down to Russia’s Ludmilla Samsonova in straight sets. But she is set to face last year’s Canadian Open champion Camila Giorgi in the first round at Montreal.

In an uncharacteristic Kyrgios rally, which featured plenty of slices between the two, the Australian prevailed after 24 shots to seize the mini break and eventually, the set. If he claims the Washington crown, it will be his first ATP Tour victory since 2019 at the same event. "The difference was he stands on the fast and he makes you play that extra ball. He was not at his flying best, showing consistent frustration throughout the first set, but his serve kept him out of danger as he did not face a break point. The role was reversed, the past couple matches I've been on paper, rankings-wise the underdog in my past couple matches, but today I definitely felt like the favourite," Kyrgios said in his on-court interview. He will play top seed Andrey Rublev or Japanese lefty Yoshihito Nishioka for the title.

Kyrgios mixed up the pace in the early going, presumably to keep Ymer off-balance as he felt out his young opponent’s strengths. In an eyeblink, he can flick a sharply angled cross-court volley with a deft touch or rip a backhand passing shot down the line. By virtue of reaching Sunday’s final, he is projected to vault to No. 42. While Kyrgios was once the world No. 1 junior, it took him a decade amid the dominance of Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer to reach his first Grand Slam final last month. He engaged in minimal theatrics — including two between-the-legs shots, when a higher percentage shot was available. Each match Ymer won in reaching Saturday’s semifinal went the full three sets. The score knotted at 4-4 in the first set, Kyrgios drifted toward the net seemingly without a clear plan, and Ymer ripped a merciless passing shot as if to underscore that he was not to be trifled with. For Nishioka, 26, it was his third career victory over a top 10 player. And when his serve is clicking, as it was against in a thrilling Friday night quarterfinal against Francis Tiafoe, who he bombarded with 35 aces, there is little an opponent can do except back up — back way up, almost to the fence — and hope for the best. When his head is in the game, what makes Kyrgios a handful is his massive serve and broad array of shots and pace. “I wasn’t afraid of mistakes.” And in his first career meeting with Kyrgios, Ymer signaled that he was a player with serious skill, focus and tenacity.

Wimbledon runner-up Nick Kyrgios powered into his 11th career final with a straight-sets dispatch of Swede Michael Ymer in the ATP event in Washington.

I'm super excited for it." Had the ATP not stripped Wimbledon of rankings points in objection to the All England Club's banning of Russian and Belarusian players because of the invasion of Ukraine, Kyrgios would have regained his place in the world's top 15. I ate some dinner, got some treatment and just my body was so sore after last night.

And with big events coming up in Montreal and Cincinnati, Kyrgios is on track to secure an all-important seeding for the US Open starting on August 29 in New York. Instead he remains at No 63 and continues to make a mockery of the men’s rankings, which ridiculously also have Djokovic at world No 6, the Serbian superstar’s lowest position in 15 years. He’s an incredible athlete and I really wasn’t expecting him to be that fast,” Kyrgios said of his rival. “The difference was he stands on the fast and he makes you play that extra ball. Yet to be broken all week in the American capital, Kyrgios didn’t face a solitary break point against Ymer, who had ousted former world No 1 Andy Murray in the first round. Obviously my winning percentage behind my first serve would have been high, but from the back of the court I didn’t play well at all.
