Nick Kyrgios got off to a great start at the Atlanta Open winning the first round match vs Kevin Anderson 7-6(4) 6-3.
The Australian looked great and played very good tennis to take down Kevin Anderson who picked up some form lately. He did not face a break point in the match losing only six points on his serve. After the match he said:
"Kevin is no easy opponent, he’s a finalist at Grand Slams and he knows how to win matches. His serve is one of the best in the world, so I knew today was going to be incredibly tough. I haven’t played too many matches, but I was serving well and I just love playing here in Atlanta.”

Kyrgios was also asked about asking a fan where to serve on match point which is something he also did at Wimbledon. He explained his reasoning behind it:
“It’s a routine that I’ve been doing for the last few years, just trying to get the fans involved- I saw that he had an ‘NK Nation’ hat on, and I said, ‘Where do you want me to serve?’ He just said, ‘Just go big, wide.’ So there you go.”

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
