Nick Kyrgios loses battle of the big servers to miss German grasscourt final

Nick Kyrgios has found himself upstaged in a battle of the monster servers as Hubert Hurkacz ruined the Australian's hopes of reaching a first grass-court final in Halle.Rd of 16: def Stefanos Tsitsipas 5-7, 6-2, 6-4Kyrgios — in such brilliant form all week at the German event that he fancied his maiden final on the green stuff was firmly on the cards — met his match in an almost inevitable tie-break decider in Saturday's semi-final, losing 6-4, 6-7 , 6-7 to Hurkacz.

The Australian was quite brilliant behind his own serve, unbroken and having given up just two break points the whole match. So Kyrgios, who was even more prolific, with 30 aces, couldn't capitalise on his first-set domination, when he was the more aggressive and ambitious of the pair.Neither player was troubled on their own delivery until the ninth game of the opener when two brilliant forehand winners helped Kyrgios land what was to be the only break of the match to go 5-4 ahead.

Show pony.

The Choker.

Nick is an amateur that gets paid.
