The 2022 Wimbledon losing-finalist also revealed that he lost his phone a day earlier at Kings Island, an amusement park in Ohio.

"Well, I'm not going to tell you what Cos (his girlfriend Costeen Hatzi) thinks about Cincinnati," Kyrgios said. "I've played some best tennis here and I really like it. It's actually good that there's not much to do off the court, which makes me stay in and get a good rest. I went to Kings Island yesterday and lost my phone already. I was on a roller coaster and checked my pocket, gone."
