Nick Kyrgios bows out of Wimbledon 08 Jul 2018 Kyrgios blows it A crestfallen Nick Kyrgios is blaming stage fright for his shocking third-round exit from Wimbledon. Completing a miserable day for Australia at The All England Club, Kyrgios admitted he "panicked" and was stricken with nerves in crashing to a 6-1 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 third-round defeat at the hands of Japanese superstar Kei Nishikori. The 15th seed's elimination left Australia without a second-week contender for the second year running after Alex de Minaur, Matt Ebden and women's hopes Ashleigh Barty and Daria Gavrilova all also lost earlier on Saturday. Kyrgios's exit, though, was undoubtedly the most disappointing - and dramatic.
