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."
