The U.S. Open was Nick Kyrgios’ to win, but instead of leaving Flushing Meadows with his first Grand Slam title, he left having flushed a major opportunity down the toilet and with a trail of debris for someone else to clean up as usual.
Nick Kyrgios smashes his racket after his quarterfinal loss to Russia’s Karen Khachanov at the U.S. Open.A detailed view of the racket is seen on court after of Nick Kyrgios of Australia was defeated by Karen Khachanov.“I honestly feel like s–t,” said a sullen Kyrgios, who could barely lift his head high enough to reach the microphone. “I feel like I’ve let so many people down. … I feel like these four tournaments [Grand Slams] are the only ones that ever are going to matter.
Though Kyrgios had never made it out of the third round in eight previous appearances at the U.S. Open — much less to the precipice of the semifinals — this trophy had his name on it.Two-thirds of the Big Three weren’t here. The other member, Rafael Nadal, was playing for the first time since an abdominal tear knocked him out of Wimbledon,earlier this week by Frances Tiafoe. Kyrgios’ had a clear path to the final, especially after he beat world No.
Still, in a night of aces — a combined 61 in all — the kind of tennis that Kyrgios had been playing lately started to show up in spades. He took the second set, 6-4, then, after losing the third, 7-5, won a jaw-droppingly good fourth set in a tiebreak.
