Game, set, match, hair color – it’s all over for local hero Nick Kyrgios (26) at the Australian Open!
The Australian local hero and bully tennis star Nick Kyrgios fails in four sets with 6: 7 (1: 7), 4: 6, 6: 4 and 2: 6 at Russian world number two Daniil Medvedev (25) in the second round the Australian Open.
Bully-out by Nick Kyrgios – first his hair color runs in his face, then he freaks out with a bat!
Which: During the match, Kyrgios, who is known for his extravagant and eccentric demeanor, gradually runs into the face of the fresh new hair color. A dash of hair color runs under his hairline more and more toward the eyebrows.

Then in the fourth sentence Kyrgios freaked out! After Medvedev had made it 2:5 in the meantime, he chopped up his racket and repeatedly slammed it onto the blue hard court. As a result, he had to go into the last game of the match at 0:15 due to two warnings.
Before that, the two will offer a tennis show to fans at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena. The tie-break started in the first set, and Medvedev initially struggled in the game.
But the second in the world rankings from Russia secured the first two sets 7: 6 (7: 1) and 6: 4. In the third set, Kyrgios comes up short again with 6: 4. After three hours and four minutes, Medvedev gets his first two match points in the fourth set.
The Russian converts the first thanks to another “unforced error” by Kyrgios. Last year’s finalist is in the third round, where he will face Dutchman Botic van den Zandschulp (26).
Medvedev after the match: “It was a fun match because we both serve strong. In the second and fourth sets I started returning a lot more in the key moments. It was always clear that this match would be tight.”
With that, the local hero is out – and Medvedev in the third round of this year’s Australian Open.
