Shame about Kyrgios last night, but he was always going to run out of steam at some point, he hasn't had the easiest of runs during the tournament, had played a few challenger events beforehand and has had issues with his fitness in the past.
That being said he has had a fantastic Wimbledon that we can all be proud of and the level of physical development (Endurance) he has had since January is nothing short of fantastic, It really wouldn't surprise me if he was seeded for when the US open comes around as he has no ranking points to defend until after the US open (And even then it is only 70 points so it shouldn't be too much of an issue if he stays active on the circuit).
I feel like the younger Aussies really have an issue with guys with big serves. Tomic had issues with it early in his career too. Might be a case of getting used to the speed to be able to read the ball better, because Kyrgios just crumbled from about the middle of the third set on when Raonic was serving.
Yep agreed, now that he's almost top 50 he should be able to get into some events directly and grab some cheap points that way to boost his rank. Just hope he doesn't become a Tomic and just be a grass court specialist, but he seems to have the game for hard court as well.
