Nick Kyrgios is into the semis after defeating Pablo Carreno Busta 6-4 6-2, putting the Australian No 2 on the verge of reaching his first grass-court final
Nick KyrgiosThe Australian, so often sidetracked from his own brilliance by unnecessary distractions, was the model of businesslike concentration on Friday - with just the odd showman’s trick chucked in - as he blew away Top 20 baseliner Pablo Carreno Busta 6-4 6-2.Kyrgios is on the verge of reaching his first grass-court final, but the wildcard Halle debutant must first overcome Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz in Saturday’s semi.
He’s now just a match away from his first final since July 2019 when he beat Daniil Medvedev for the Washington hard-court trophy. In the next game, he then produced an outrageous tweener which so surprised Carreno Busta, he ballooned his follow-up shot. “I’m definitely happy with the way I played. I’m feeling so comfortable on the grass,” said Kyrgios, who also reached the semi-finals in Stuttgart last week.
