It had been 3 years since the Australian had won a trophy. This Sunday, Nick Kyrgios returned to victory, winning a second title at the Washington tournament (2019 and 2022). He dismissed the Japanese Yoshihito Nishioka in two sets (6-4, 6-3) in the final, after notably beating Tifoe (27th ATP), a confrontation in which the Australian saved 5 match points.
After two black years, Nick Kyrgios returns to the front of the world tennis scene. Ranked 63rd in the ATP rankings (because no points were awarded after London), the Australian had climbed for the first time in the final of a Grand Slam tournament, in July at Wimbledon, beaten by Novak Djokovic. “It’s an incredible feeling, a great emotion for me to win a title again here. When I think back to where I was again last year, in very dark states, a great transformation has occurred. It’s a very strong feeling that goes through me. I am very happy with what is happening, ”he reacted after his coronation.
Three weeks before the start of the US Open, Nick Kyrgios is making his mark in the United States, where he also won the doubles title with the American Jack Sock. The whimsical tennis player did not concede a single break during the week, proving to be extremely effective in service. By winning in Washington, Nick Kyrgios offers himself the seventh title of his career. And before thinking about the US Open, he will go through the Masters 1000 in Montreal with a potential 2nd round of high-flying against Daniil Medvedev.
