Want to see some world-class athleticism? Check out this leaping forehand from Nick Kyrgios during his 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win over Aljaz Bedene on Day 2. The No. 14-seeded Aussie is an electric shotmaker to be sure.
Kyrgios needed just one hour and 57-minutes to take care of the Brit on Tuesday, and told reporters that he’s feeling better this year in New York after a long training block in the previous weeks.
“My head space last year wasn't the greatest,” he said. “I was obviously going through a lot of stuff last year through that whole Montreal thing.”
He added: “I'm seeded 14 here, so I won't meet Murray until I'm a hell of a lot further through the draw. I feel comfortable in general on the tennis court. I feel more comfortable in my game against whoever I play. I know what I can do on the tennis court. I have beaten quality players. I'm not afraid of these guys, but I'm aware they all can play some really good tennis.”
