Kyrgios crashed out of the US Open in the third round to Federer after going down in straight sets – 6-4, 6-1, 7-5 – to the Swiss legend who hasn’t lifted the title at Flushing Meadows since 2008.
Having been discussed as one of the game’s brightest stars, Kyrgios has at times failed to fulfill his potential and his temperament has let him down.
Federer, who was arguably a stroppy teen, has gone on to become one of the greatest players to lift a racket and he has claimed 20 Grand Slam titles in his career.

“In my career, I don’t think I have — I have been around for about four years now. I have barely done anything.
“I think I can do a lot more. As I said, it’s all mental with me, I think.

“I think there is a lot more things to explore.
“But, I mean, obviously I want to achieve more in the sport. I don’t think I have done anything.”
Kyrgios was also amazed by Federer’s stunning winner in the third set when he picked up a drop shot and flicked a forehand down the line around the net post.
He added: “I was trying to tell him that the shot wasn’t that good (smiling).
