“I’m not where I want to be on the surface. “I’m trying to get as many points as possible from each surface. I got a lot of clay points this spring (Monte Carlo title defence and Rome final) and I want to try and do the same on grass.” “I also entered Queen’s at the last minute, had an issue with a nerve in my leg and just didn’t feel great.” “I’ve never needed match play to perform, I know what I have to do to win.” “I had to play doubles in clay-court shoes yesterday,” said Kyrgios, who has partnered up with Alexander Bublik. “I had to deal with a bit of adversity.

Nick Kyrgios has opened his 2022 grasscourt campaign with a straight-sets win over rising Czech Jiri Lehecka at the Boss Open in Stuttgart.

I’ll take it and just get ready for my next match.” Just excited to get through. O’Connell, the world No.116, was coming off a run to the quarter-finals at Surbiton where he lost to compatriot and eventual champion Jordan Thompson. “Definitely a tricky one,” Kyrgios said after improving to 10-4 on the year. “It’s never easy to return on grass and I thought I just made a couple of returns at the right time. The match was Kyrgios’s first since a semi-final loss on clay to Reilly Opelka in Houston in April and his first grasscourt outing since his second-round retirement at Wimbledon last year.

Nick Kyrgis played his first singles match in several months and he was pretty decent on the surface which favours his playstyle quite well 7-6(3) 6-3 over ...

He did a similar thing in the 2nd set as he once again played quite dominant on his own serve. He saved both break points he faced and used one of three he had for a solid win in 78 minutes of play. He did that by design as it took him a while to finally find a good rhythm on the German grass.

Nick Kyrgios had to face an unusual scenario before the start of the Stuttgart Open, as he had no practice session before his first match.

Meanwhile, grass has always been his favorite surface, as he had one of the best results of his career at Wimbledon. It will be interesting to see if he reaches far at this year’s Wimbledon, with many top players from Russia already missing. When Kyrgios landed in Stuttgart, his tennis gear and rackets went missing. The Aussie superstar hasn’t played since April and skipped the French Open as well.

“I’m not where I want to be on the surface. “I’m trying to get as many points as possible from each surface. I got a lot of clay points this spring (Monte Carlo title defence and Rome final) and I want to try and do the same on grass.” But I have the right intentions — I’m fully present and committed to my job on court,” the world number five said. “I also entered Queen’s at the last minute, had an issue with a nerve in my leg and just didn’t feel great.” “I’ve never needed match play to perform, I know what I have to do to win.”

After enjoying first-round doubles success on Monday at the BOSS OPEN in Stuttgart, Nick Kyrgios returned on Tuesday and started his singles campaign in ...

So hopefully I don’t lose, and if I lose, that person knows they’re probably going to win the tournament!” My tennis bag didn’t come until yesterday, I didn’t have grass-court shoes, I had my clay-court shoes. “Today was the first time I wore grass-court shoes.

“Every time I’ve lost at this tournament, I ended up losing to the winner. My tennis bag didn’t come until yesterday, I didn’t have grass-court shoes, I had my clay-court shoes. I didn’t have the best preparation here.
