Nick Kyrgios confessed that he hadn’t always gone about things “great” in his career after booking a spot in his maiden Grand Slam semi-final at Wimbledon. The 27-year-old said he thought the “ship had sailed” after beating Cristian Garin 6-4 6-3 7-6(5) to reach the last-four at the All England Club.
Kyrgios was competing in his second Wimbledon quarter-final – eight years after the first – and finally managed to break new ground by beating Garin in two hours and 12 minutes to reach his maiden Grand Slam semi-final. And the Aussie got candid after the match as he admitted he thought the “window” to reach the last four of a Major had passed him by, following some antics earlier in his career.
“An amazing atmosphere out here again,” he said after collapsing to the ground in an emotional celebration. “I never thought I’d be at a semi-final of a Grand-Slam. I thought my ship had sailed.
“I didn’t go about things great in my career and thought I’d missed that window.” And the world No 40 said he felt “proud” to have finally reached a career-best result at a Major.
