Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios is in Melbourne, competing at the season’s first Major. This is his first Grand Slam event since he was last seen at the Australian Open 2020. He suffered a wrist injury and later chose to skip certain events due to the COVID-19 global pandemic.
As Nick began his journey at this year’s Australian Open, he was up against Portugal’s Ferreira Silva. The match began and the Portuguese player broke the Australian in his opening service game and took a 2-0 lead.
In the very next game, Kyrgios stepped up his play and put the pressure on his opponent.
