LONDON: After Nick Kyrgios shut out Cristian Garin in the Wimbledon quarterfinals, he sank into his courtside seat, towel wrapped around his arched frame and elbows on his knees. The 27-year-old recalled his journey, staying with the dark moments before returning to Court No. 1, the scene of many an epochal moment for the Aussie in these championships.
Kyrgios is now in his maiden major final after a weather-beaten Rafael Nadal’s late withdrawal, but the Aussie spoke hours before Nadal forfeited their semifinal match.
