‘They know it’s a bit of a show’: smiling Nick Kyrgios serves up masterclass

  • Australian beats Gianluca Mager to reach Wimbledon third round
  • Compatriot Jordan Thompson downs Japan’s Kei Nishikori

The Nick Kyrgios show is rolling on with smiles and a serving masterclass as the Australian “holidaymaker” enjoyed his second Wimbledon win in two days. Kyrgios was one of five Australians to post victory on day four of tennis in London, with Jordan Thompson registering a big win against Japan’s Kei Nishikori.

Kyrgios, who reckoned he was suffering physically from his draining first round win over Ugo Humbert on Wednesday, did not look it as he returned 24 hours later to blow away a spirited challenge from Italian Gianluca Mager 7-6 (9-7), 6-4, 6-4.
