He breezed past Marcos Giron 6-3 6-2 in under an hour on Tuesday at the Washington Open in his first singles match since going down to Novak Djokovic in his maiden Grand Slam final at Wimbledon.“I’m playing for a lot more than myself, and I feel like I’m just in a totally different mindset,” Kyrgios told reporters.

“But now I feel like I had some time off in Bahamas, but I was still forcing myself to train every day. Coming to these tournaments in shape and ready to go ... I just have so much motivation at the moment.”
