Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios has become the first person to win the Citi Open men’s singles and doubles titles in the same year.

It was a triumphant return for the Australian to the US capital, where he lifted the men’s singles trophy in 2019 for his last ATP Tour title then tumbled out in the first round of last year’s tournament.

Kyrgios, who lost to Novak Djokovic in four sets at the All England Club last month, took just 81 minutes to defeat his Japanese opponent Yoshihito Nishioka 6-4 6-3.

Berserker to bonafide contender: Is this the summer of Nick Kyrgios after Citi Open win ahead of US Open?

Once upon a time, Nick Kyrgios was seen as a berserker: capable of destroying a draw with a devastating performance against a top seed but equally capable of self-imploding at any time against any player in the draw. He was like a firecracker; loud, explosive, sometimes spectacular, but (usually) shortlived. These days, he’s burning brighter than ever.
