Victory after three sets against Garin
“Quieter” Kyrgios for the first time in a Grand Slam semifinal
Nick Kyrgios (27) remains comparatively calm in the Wimbledon quarter-finals against Cristian Garin and is in a Grand Slam semi-final for the first time after three sets (6: 4, 6: 3, 7: 6 (7: 5)).
Nick Kyrgios, the controversial “bad boy” of tennis, is in a Grand Slam semi-final for the first time. In Wimbledon, the Australian prevailed quite confidently 6: 4, 6: 3, 7: 6 (7: 5) in three sets against Cristian Garin from Chile.
The world number 40 had advantages against the South Americans, who were five positions worse, especially when serving and acted – for his standards – calmly and concentrated. He lost his first two major quarterfinals eight years ago at Wimbledon (against Milos Raonic) and seven years ago at the Australian Open (against Andy Murray).
Now he even has a chance to make it to the final. For that he would have to take on Rafael Nadal, number 2, or the world number 14 on Friday. Defeat Taylor Fritz. (SDA)
