Mandatory Credit: Susan Mullane-USA TODAY SportsLONDON, July 10 - Nick Kyrgios admits it felt "ridiculous" for a basketball-mad guy from Canberra to be playing a Wimbledon final but after losing to Novak Djokovic he feels like he belongs.
While there have been trademark antics during the fortnight and Kyrgios continues to divide opinion over whether he is a force for good in tennis, the 27-year-old Australian proved he is not far away from landing a Grand Slam.A sensational first set left Djokovic dazed in the Centre Court sunshine, before the Serb seized control to win 4-6 6-3 6-4 7-6 in three absorbing hours.
"The anxiety of obviously having that day off from the semi-final, I slept terribly again last night," he said. "I felt like I belonged. I feel like my level has always been there. I feel like I've put it together a little bit these couple of weeks.""In big moments, it just felt like he was never rattled," Kyrgios said of Djokovic who collected a seventh Wimbledon and 21st Grand Slam title.
