Kyrgios battled past home favourite Paul Jubb 3-6, 6-1, 7-5, 6-7(3), 7-5 to reach the second round at The Championships
Kyrgios was not really worried about having to play five sets calling it a typical first round for him at Wimbledon. He said:
"Just a typical first round here for me. I [have] played so many five-setters first round. It's an absolute rollercoaster. So just super pumped to be able to just move through, really. Easily could have gone the other way today. A couple lucky shots here or there. He put himself in a position to win."
The 27-year-old is now 10-3 in five-set matches, including 5-0 at Wimbledon. Kyrgios, who made the quarter-finals at the All England Club as a 19-year-old, arrived at the third major of the season with plenty of matches after advancing to the semi-finals in Stuttgart in Halle.
He said:
"If you look at the results I've had the last couple weeks, if I just stick to my guns, the results say I should win pretty easy. I know it's not going to be the case. I've got to be pretty focussed."
