Former Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli has played down the chances of Nick Kyrgios triumphing at the US Open.
The 27-year-old has enjoyed the best run of form of his career, winning the Citi Open in both singles and doubles while also reaching the Wimbledon final - his first Grand Slam final. The world No 26 went on to lose to Novak Djokovic in an engrossing final as the Serb claimed his 21st major title with a 4-6 6-3 6-4 7-6 (7-3) victory.
Kyrgios carried his grass-court form into the North American hard-court season, triumphing in Washington while also impressing at the Canadian Open. He reached the quarter-finals of the tournament, defeating World No 1 Daniil Medvedev in the process.
