Nick Kyrgios in form of his life and under intense scrutiny at US Open | Emma Kemp

About 16,000km away, Kyrgios appears insouciant. Doing his thing, seemingly immune to the noise. Classic Kyrgios. What is he thinking? Is he worried? Indifferent? Even if he tells us, we probably won’t have the answer until he gets on the court, where each brilliant serve and unbeatable winner and every blazing blow-up says more than any words could.

Was that fortnight to be the start of something big? Would he now be a contender at every grand slam?As it stands, Kyrgios has never made it past the third round of the US Open. The last time he got that far was 2019, before Covid hit and he took a break from the international circuit. only ensures the spotlight will be turned on from the outset at Flushing Meadows. Box office from the word go – it would not be any other way with Kyrgios.

At the end of the day, Kyrgios may be at the mercy of his own body. With last week’s resounding straight-sets Cincinnati Masters loss to American Taylor Fritz emerged a knee injury, suggesting the strain of a busy calendar – also featuring a heavy doubles schedule – is catching up.
