Former world No. 1 Boris Becker has encouraged rising Australian star Nick Kyrgios to keep giving his best effort following his victorious run in Washington. The Australian edged out third seed Daniil Medvedev in a tight Washington final 7-6 (6) 7-6 (4) to win his sixth ATP title.
The 24-year-old's Washington campaign also included wins over Thai-Son Kwiatkowski, Gilles Simon, Yoshihito Nishioka, Norbert Gombos and world No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas. Also, Kyrgios returned to the top-30 following his winning Washington campaign as he improved from No. 52 in the world to No. 27. "Congratulations to your win in Washington! We all love to see you (Kyrgios) play focused, entertaining, determined and exciting tennis! Keep it up. The US Open starts in three weeks!" Becker tweeted.
Kyrgios' focus now turns to this week's Montreal Masters, where he will be meeting former world No. 14 Kyle Edmund in the first round. Should Kyrgios beat Edmund, he would meet again Medvedev as the eighth-seeded Russian has a first round bye at the tournament.
