Nick Kyrgios, the controversial Australian tennis player, clinched his third and biggest ATP tour title yesterday after he defeated David Goffin of Belgium 4-6 6-3 7-5 to win the Rakuten Japan Open Tennis final.
Kyrgios, who definately played his best match in the semi-final against Gael Monfils of France, was kept under wraps by Goffin in the first set and despite making a number of errors in the second and third sets, managed to stay focused to take the title and with it, prize money, a watch and 300 bottles of wine, which certainly made him smile.
In the WTA China Open, Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland defeated Johanna Konta of Britain 6-4 6-2. Konta, who entered the Top 10 after defeating Madison Keys in the semi-final, had no answer to the Radwanska game. Radwanska has now earned 20 career titles.
World No. 2, Andy Murray, defeated Grigor Dimitrov 6-4 7-6(7) to win the ATP China Open and in doing so, his fifth title this year and 40th career title. Murray is now only 3695 points behind World No. 1, Novak Djokovic.
