Kyrgios lacks fiery passion in losing ATP Washington opener News24 Longing for the days when he would scream and throw racquets, Nick Kyrgios struggled to care on crucial points in making a first-round exit on Tuesday at the ATP Citi Open. The 26-year-old Australian, who won the Washington event when it was last played in 2019, lacked his trademark spark and passion in a 6-4, 6-4 loss to American Mackenzie McDonald. "I'm disappointed," Kyrgios said. "My head's in the shed, to be honest." Kyrgios, a six-time ATP Tour champion, was known for racquet-smashing anger and screaming when upset. But those trademarks were missing in defeat.
