- Home favourite into second round after 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 win
- ‘I’m just super happy to be here again … it was a lot of fun’
Nick Kyrgios is simultaneously an open book and an enigma. He says what he thinks and does the unthinkable. Sometimes that comes in the form of throwing a tantrum or berating the chair umpire. Other times it is raising funds for communities devastated by bushfires or becoming the pandemic voice of reason. To this day it is unclear whether he has a sizeable chip on his shoulder or genuinely does not give a toss.
A similar indecision can also be felt by the viewer, of wanting to both like and dislike him and flirting with both in equal measure. Love him or hate, though, one cannot help but watch him.
