Nick Kyrgios has been urged to split with doubles partner Thanasi Kokkinakis if he wants to win a maiden Grand Slam singles title.
On Tuesday, Kyrgios was clearly devastated as he crashed out of the US Open quarter-finals at the hands of Karen Khachanov. The Australian was defeated over five sets, falling 5-7 6-4 5-7 7-6(3) 4-6 to end his hopes of finally securing an elusive major singles crown.
After Kyrgios reached the Wimbledon final earlier this summer, fans hoped the 27-year-old would be able to claim the US Open title. However, the controversial tennis star suffered knee issues and was forced to call a medical timeout after losing the opening set against Khachanov.
