Nick Kyrgios loses the Wimbledon final to Novak Djokovic in four setsAfterwards, Kyrgios said he played poorly on big points
Nick Kyrgios found that out firsthand on Wimbledon's Centre Court on Sunday as Novak Djokovic broke his serve for the first time in their three meetings and then Kyrgios's psyche as the Australian recorded a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 loss in the men's singles final. "Whereas, best-of-three those two previous times, I won the first set, I was right on top of him, and I kept pressing and pressing."
Years ago when Kyrgios was in a darker place and less focused on his tennis that might have cracked, too, but — to his credit — he fought this match all the way to the end and pushed Djokovic to play some of his best tennis.
