Australian Open I Nick Kyrgios after his defeat in the 1st round: “I don’t really see myself playing singles again here”
He knew he was diminished but he got over it. Nick Kyrgios had only played one match after being absent from the circuit for two years. He was also handicapped by an abdominal injury a few days ago. That was a lot. Too much even. The Australian has never really been himself despite the support of an audience won over to his cause at the John Cain Arena. He had his moments. But they were far too rare to avoid a defeat in three sets against the Briton Jacob Fearnley, modest 92nd in the world (7-6, 6-3, 7-6).
