This week, the Rogers Cup in Canada is attracting the eyes of tennis fans from all over the world progressing towards the final happening this weekend. While the American Kenin threw World #1 Barty out of the competition, the British #1, Kyle Edmund, managed to defeat the Australian Nick Kyrgios, progressing into the second round of the Cup.
The 24-year-old Edmund beat Kyrgios in straight sets during the spectacular match in Montreal, finishing with a final score of 6-3, 6-4, inflicting a humiliating defeat upon the Washington Champion. The match lasted for 67 minutes and was briefly interrupted by rain during the second set.
The Australian showed his unique temper once again when he engaged in an argument with the chair umpire, demanding a white towel instead of the branded one he got. The umpire told him that he wasn’t allowed to leave his chair but Kyrgios insisted that he asks for a towel on the radio. He got his towel around 20 minutes later but Edmund took advantage of his loss of temper.
Now the British #1 will be facing the Russian eighth seed Daniil Medvedev in his attempt at the Rogers Cup title.
