Kyrgios wins the title in Atlanta

Nick Kyrgios wins his 2nd career title in Atlanta.

The young Australian has opted out the Rio Olympics to decide to play in Atlanta and in a way this has worked out pretty well.

Nick defeated John Isner in the final with a double breaker in a match that was completely dominated by the serve. Both players haven’t conceded a single break, and they both blasted 18 aces each. The encounter ended 7-6 (3) 7-6 (4) in just 1 hour and 47 minutes.

This is Kyrgios’ second career title after he won Marseille this year.

I didn’t play well this week. KYRGIOS

Nick was happy to win the title even if he conceded that he didn’t play his best tennis

“In Marseille, I was unbeatable. This week was completely different. I wasn’t playing well at all at the start of the week. I wasn’t in a good space at all. Some things just fell my way. Today, I found the right balance. I was competing and had some fun.” 

Isner has won Atlanta in the last three years, and he reached the final in 2010 and 2011.
