Nick Kyrgios tells fans how he came out of "really dark places" after rare singles title

Nick Kyrgios has spoken about the transformation he has gone through to win his first ATP Tour event for three years at the Citi Open.

The 27-year-old returned from his Wimbledon final defeat to Novak Djokovic last month in style taking just 81 minutes to defeat Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka 6-4 6-3 to win the Washington event. It was his first ATP Tour win since winning the same tournament in 2019.

An emotional Kyrgios fell flat on his back after the victory and spoke about the transformation which has seen him rise to 37th in the ATP rankings, meaning he is seeded for the US Open starting later this month.
