Bolstered by a raucous Aussie crowd, Nick Kyrgios made the host country a perfect 3-0 at the ATP Cup on Tuesday night, beating World No. 6 Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece for the second time 7-6(7), 6-7(3), 7-6(5).
Kyrgios saw a break point come and go midway through the third, but regrouped in the tie-break, delivering a barrage of forehands and mixing in delicate drop shots to keep Tsitsipas off balance. On match point, he blitzed a backhand return winner down the line before falling to his back and soaking in the shouts from the Brisbane crowd.
