If you're looking for a sleeper who could go far at this
year's U.S. Open, look no further than Nick Kyrgios.
Indeed, the 27-year-old Australian has been playing the
best tennis of his career of late and could challenge the
favorites for the title in the tennis year's fourth and final
major, especially with three-time tourney champ Novak
Djokovic sitting it out due to his vaccination status and
four-time winner Rafael Nadal injured.
In July, Kyrgios made it past the quarterfinal in a
Grand Slam for the first time in his career with his loss
to Djokovic in a hotly contested final at Wimbledon. He
followed that up in August by becoming the first person
to win the men's singles and doubles titles (with partner
John Sock) at the Citi Open in Washington, D.C. He's
also made semifinals in singles at Houston, Stuttgart and
Halle and won doubles titles with Thomas Kokkinakis in
the Australian Open and at Atlanta.
He'll face a field expected to include top-ranked players
Carlos Alcazar, Stefanos Tsitsipas,
Casper Ruud, Andrey Rublev and
World No. 1 and defending tourney
champ Daniil Medvedev when the
2022 U.S. Open airs for two weeks on
ESPN and ESPN2 from USTA Billie
Jean King National Tennis Center in
Queens, N.Y., beginning Monday,
Aug. 29.
Look out for Nick Kyrgios
