Wimbledon runner-up Nick Kyrgios fought off six match points during a second-set tiebreaker against hometown favourite Frances Tiafoe, then raced past him in the third set to win 6-7, 7-6, 6-2 at the Citi Open on Friday night.
The Wimbledon runner-up appeared set for an exit when Tiafoe set up an opportunity to serve for the win during the second set tiebreaker, but Kyrgios won the point and saved four more chances on his own serve to frustrate the American. The mercurial Australian won the last three points of the tiebreaker to force a deciding third set, which he dominated with his precise heavy service to seal the contest at around 1 a.m. local time.

Montreal Masters tournament director Eugene Lepierre had said earlier this month he did not expect Djokovic to play.
