Wimbledon the poorer for Nick Kyrgios exit

The Hindu  

Wimbledon had the feel of a small mid-western town sweeping up and fixing the shutters on Friday after tennis's own force of nature Nick Kyrgios had blown through, leaving a trail of admiration, amazement and some bemusement in his wake. Read: Murray aiming to build on winning Wimbledon return There were the obligatory under-arm serves, crazy drop-shots, no end of chuntering and a flashpoint when Kyrgios drove a shot straight at his net-lurking opponent, hitting his racket and drawing a fierce glare at the perceived lack of etiquette. Mats Wilander said it was the best second-round match he had ever seen at Wimbledon, while Boris Becker said it was the most exciting one he had commentated on “for a very long time”. Such was the force and accuracy of Kyrgios serve that Nadal, one of the game's great returners, could not create a single break point during the last two-and-a-half sets.
