Nick Kyrgios criticises 'bonehead' point as he fires US Open warning to Rafael Nadal

His words came after he credited his team for his amazing run this summer, holding the most match wins post-French Open. “I’m just trying to work hard every day, make every practice session count, getting to sleep. I’d probably be out every night before, now I’ve got a great girlfriend, she helps me.

“And my team, I’ve got my physio with me. Will, Horse, it’s all my team. I hope I can keep it going, I’m working really hard.” After explaining his newfound determination off the court, Kyrgios also shared how much it went to show off the hard work in New York, having never made it to the second week before.

“I’m just glad I’m finally able to show New York my talent. Honestly haven’t had many good trips here to be honest, I’m just glad I can finally show you guys the hard work and the dedication – it took 27 years.”
