Auger-Aliassime defeats Kyrgios in a hard fought match in Queen’s Club Championships

Felix Auger-Aliassime won for the second time on the same day by beating Nick Kyrgios to enter the quarterfinals of the Queen’s Club Championships.

Kyrgios seemingly was distracted in a  controversial day at the tournament. He was also booed by some of the fans. The 39^th ranked Kyrgios had some exchange of words with the officials accusing them of ‘rigging’ his 1^st round match. He had some expletive-ridden rant at the umpire, Murphy when he missed a set point (he thought that his opponent had double-faulted in his first-round match).

Kyrgios was also reportedly playing a computer game till 3 AM. All this obviously made the player distracted and eased the tough challenge for Auger a little bit.

The Match

In the first set, both the players did well to hold on their serves and level at 6-6. The set was decided in the tiebreak which the Australian won. The first set score in favour of Australian was 7-6(4)

The second set was equally hard fought as the first one with no breaks resulting and the score was levelled at 6-6. The set was won by the young Canadian in the tiebreak 7-6(3).

The 3^rd set was pretty much similar to the other 2 sets and levelled at 5-5. Auger broke in the 12^th game of the set to win it 7-5.

Auger won the match 6-7(4)  7-6(3) 7-5 in 2 hours and 13 minutes.
