Nick Kyrgios expects his straight-sets loss to Britain’s Jacob Fearnley to be his final singles match at the Australian Open.

The Australian played at Melbourne Park for the first time in three years following knee and wrist operations and fans once again flocked to his favourite John Cain Arena to be part of the show.
