- Two weeks after receiving a record six-figure fine for his latest on-court meltdown, Nick Kyrgios returns to the U.S. Open with questions swirling over whether the mercurial Australian will ever mature in time to fulfill his vast potential.
He was fined $113,000 there after verbally abusing chair umpire Fergus Murphy and smashing two rackets. The good behavior on display that week did not last long, leaving pundits and former players wondering whether the 24-year-old will ever embrace the change necessary to take his game to the next level.
He has a combined 6-9 head-to-head record against them — 2-0 against Djokovic, 3-4 against Nadal and 1-5 against Federer.“But if he is playing someone ranked a little lower, and he’s obviously trying his hardest and he’s losing or he possibly could lose, then he just goes in the tank and he’s got that excuse for his ego.
“His talent is unbelievable,” the 2003 U.S. Open champion told Reuters. “I would go back and play my career with his game in a heartbeat.
