The match in question ended in defeat for the Spaniard as Ruusuvuori came through in three sets. However, the strapping Aussie, who must have followed the game or caught snatches of it, clearly didn’t like what he saw.
Currently ranked 51st in singles, Kyrgios marked his return to Grand Slam tennis at this year’s Australian Open.
He took an indefinite break from tennis after coming out with depression last year. Revealing his battle with mental sickness, the Aussie relived how he went through a phase in his career when he hated the sight of a tennis court. He also recounted feeling like he was in a dark and lonely place.

The burly 25-year-old set up a mouth-watering third-round clash at Melbourne Park against then World Number 3 Dominic Thiem after battling past rising French star Ugo Humbert in five sets.
