Nick Kyrgios admits concerns over parents’ illness as he shrugs off Canadian Open defeat

Nick Kyrgios admitted he has struggled with fatigue and mental focus recently as his mind is with his sick parents back in his native Australia.

The 27-year-old has enjoyed the best run of form of his career, winning 15 of his last 16 matches before he clashed with Hubert Hurkacz in the quarter-finals of the Canadian Open. The only defeat in that period came against Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final, which highlights how impressive Kyrgios has been.

Kyrgios suffered a frustrating defeat to the Pole, with the outspoken star battling for two sets before he ran out of gas to lose 7-6(7-4) 6-7(5-7) 6-1. Hurkacz will face Casper Ruud in the semi-finals in Montreal.
