Nick Kyrgios never fails to entertain, does he? The Australian has been one of the most talented players on the tour in recent years. However, he has failed to capitalize due to his inconsistent performances and questionable attitude. The fact that his best showing at the Grand Slams in men’s singles has been a quarterfinal finish tells you the entire story. Despite all of this, he is a treat to watch when he is on song.

Kyrgios overcame the challenge of the 5th seed in the second round of the Miami Open yesterday. Talking about his early career days in Miami, Kyrgios said, “Early in my career, I partied until 4:00 A.M. Now I just relax. I don’t know what it is. Miami and I always got along for some reason.”

Further, he opened up on his mindset after his Australian Open doubles victory. He said, “It is one of the aspects of my life, to be honest, dealing with a lot of stuff the last couple years. I find myself happy, I don’t stress much. I go out there two hours a day and enjoyed tennis and that’s it.”

On catching up a game of basketball in Miami, the Australian said, “I might go tomorrow night. I think they’re playing the Nets, I want to catch up with my boy, Ben Simmons, as well. I look forward to but Boston’s winning it all.”

Kyrgios has stormed into the third round of the Miami Open, after commanding wins over Adrian Mannarino and Andrey Rublev, both in straight sets. He will take on Fabio Fognini in a mouth-watering clash in the third round at the Miami Masters 1000. A two-time Miami Masters semifinalist, can Kyrgios dig deep at this year’s tournament?
