Steve had no answers in the last 4 games of the set (from 2-3 to 6-3).

2nd set.

3rd set.

Kyrgios had a favorable start in this set after breaking Johnson in the 1st game (1-0) before consolidating his break and lead 3-0. Anyhow, that was not enough for the Australian to win the set as Steve managed to break back in the 4th (1-3) game.
