"I wanted to keep the momentum going" - Kyrgios after yet another win

A pumped-up Nick Kyrgios continued his impressive start to the season on Sunday, overcoming Fabio Fognini 6-2, 6-4 to reach the fourth round at the Miami Open presented by Itau for a fifth consecutive time.

In a battle between two of the best shotmakers on Tour, it was the Australian who came out on top on Hard Rock Stadium in an absorbing clash. The wild card pulled Fognini from corner to corner, combining power with a deft touch to advance after 61 minutes.

Speaking during the on court interview, Kyrgios said:

“I wanted to keep the momentum going. As soon as I had break points I wanted to take them. I served well and I am happy to be through. I am just returning well. My doubles has helped me a lot on my singles court. The way I am serving and returning is quite a sight to see.”

Kyrgios has been absolutely on fire during this North American run but he will need to keep things on a high level if he hopes to do something similar to what he did last week in Indian Wells. He certainly put people on notice with his recent performances.
