An emotional Nick Kyrgios spoke of his struggles to discover his best form after ending a three-year title-drought with victory in the Citi Open final in Washington. The Australian took just 81 minutes to defeat Japanese giant-killer Yoshihito Nishioka 6-4 6-3 to claim his first ATP Tour event since winning the same competition in 2019. “To see where I was at last year to now, it’s just an incredible transformation,” Kyrgios said. “I’ve been in some really dark places. Just to be able to turn it around … I’ve shown some serious strength.”
