Weary Kyrgios yearns for home but doesn't want a ban

Explore Business Standard

Australia's Nick Kyrgios was dumped from the US Open, falling to Russian Andrey Rublev and overheard saying he really didn't want to be on the court.
Rublev advanced to a fourth-round match against Italian 24th seed Matteo Berrettini with a 7-6 (7/5), 7-6 (7/5), 6-3 triumph.
"Nowhere near my best tennis, but it is what it is," Kyrgios said.
A microphone caught Kyrgios commenting that he wanted to go home, which prompted Kyrgios to say, "I guess I've been on the road five and a half months now. It's not easy."
