Wimbledon 2022: Nick Kyrgios Reaches First Semifinal In Grand Slam

 

Australian ace Nick Kyrgios is now for the first time ever a Grand Slam semi finalist after beating Cristian Garin to reach the Last Four at Wimbledon. 

Delightful Nick dropped on his back on the floor after beating the Chilean in straight sets 6-4 6-3 7-6(5). He will progress to face Rafael Nadal in the next match. 

Garin enjoyed a slow start from Nick and that soon changed as the Aussie rallied back to level 4-4 after saving a break on his serve. 

Nick won the opening set and followed up with the second set after winning a break point and the served an ace for a set point. 

"I thought that ship had sailed - that I may have wasted that window in my career," said Nick expressing his feeling on making his first ever Grand Slam semifinal. 

The decider went into a tiebreak and Garin lost out as he struck a backhand return wide for a match point to Nick after over two hours of play. 

Nadal, who will take on the Aussie, fought through a four setter 3-6 7-5 3-6 7-5 7-6(4) against Taylor Fritz to reach the last four of the tournament.
