Nick Kyrgios takes down Fabio Fognini in Miami

Nick Kyrgios continued with his good performances as he played another solid match to take down Fabio Fognini 6-2 6-4 in Miami.

The Australian player is playing very inspiring tennis showcasing a level of care he did not show in a very long time. His demolition of Rublev shook the tennis world and put everyone on notice however today was not the same level for Nick. It was still pretty decent overall, especially against Fognini whose mind wandered somewhere else.

The Italian was overpowered by Kyrgios early in the match as his weaker serves was a point of attack. Kyrgios did not waste any time taking an early break in the match and then added another one. Fognini did not try too hard as he kind of made peace with a defeat even before stepping onto the court. He engages with Kyrigos in light banter and played up the crowd.
