Nick Kyrgios ‘devastated’ after quarterfinal defeat to Karen Khachanov as he destroys two rackets on court
Kyrgios, now 20, is back home to Perth for the second week after his Perth Open final.
The Aussie Open champion, who has won his five Australian Open titles on clay courts, won three matches on Tuesday but suffered a quarterfinal defeat to the world No. 1 by the same scoreline to reach his second grand slam quarterfinal since winning the Australian Open last year.
Kyrgios, 20, is back home to Perth for the second week after his Perth Open final. ‘I am devastated. I’ve played well but I haven’t won any of the majors this year’.
Kyrgios, a former number one ranked player, broke on the first serve at 3-4, with the third-seed taking advantage to go on to a 7-5 lead.
‘She started well after I missed a lot of balls, it was a tough one for me and I am disappointed to be losing in such a match’.
The next time we play Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer, I will have a better chance of winning.
