At wimbledon the Australian sees himself again, a public in delirium
Nick Kyrgios hadn’t played for six months – last sighting at the Australian Open – and Wimbledon, which is also his favorite amusement park, considers it a road trip to the Bahamas (where he resides). “But nobody here wants to meet me in the 1st round, because even without training I beat half of those on the scoreboard.” Nick Kyrgios always shoots them big, but in this case he is right. In the continuation of the match suspended on Tuesday due to rain, the French Humbert, 21st seeded, beat the French 9-7 in the 5th set, who a week ago on the grass knocked out Rublev (No. 7 Atp) in the final in Halle.
Grimaces, curtains, a half-injury, the usual delirious blows and the coldness of closing at the right time. “Not bad for a part time tennis player – he says -: it’s worth getting out of bed to play in this place”. And Center Court, at least as in love as his new brunette girlfriend, glazes him with applause. In 2014 Nick materialized 19 years old right here, uprooting Nadal in the round of 16: he looked like the new Messiah of the grass and even if he never kept himself (he is # 60), every match of his remains a promise of happiness. Now it’s Gianluca Mager’s turn, who beat Londero (7-6 6-0 4-6 6-3) arriving in the 2nd round together with the other Azzurri Berrettini (6-4 3-6 6-4 6-0 in Pella ), Sonego (6-2 7-5 6-0 to P. Sousa) and Camila Giorgi (6-2 6-2 to Teichman). Immediately out Caruso (7-6 7-6 6-1 with Cilic) and in the 2nd round Seppi (6-2 6-5 6-2 with Kudla). Today, 3rd match from 2 pm (TV on Sky), there is Federer-Gasquet. –
