I haven’t played this level of tennis in a long time. Playing someone as good as Felix, I needed my main weapon, my serve, to be firing on all cylinders and I felt my ab just at the end of the first set,” said Kyrgios after his match against Felix.

Moreover, this also meant that Kyrgios‘ mixed doubles partnership with Venus Williams has now ended. They very quickly became a popular team and had reached the second round as well. With just one match and several Instagram posts, Kyrgios and Venus were surely trending. From Kyrgios’ search for a mixed doubles partner to Serena Williams feeling left out of the partnership, the mixed doubles team had it all.

“When a point is done, she completely moves on. She doesn’t dwell on anything that’s happened in the past. I guess that’s what’s helped her have so much success. That’s why she’s such a great champion. “You have to have some people, I believe, that are relatable, that people can bring other fans to watch, like people that are just normal.”
