WASHINGTON — Nick Kyrgios hammed it up by delivering a repaired sneaker to his opponent, No. 1-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas. He celebrated one key shot with a shimmy. He marked the last point by shaking a fan's hand.
The Nick Kyrgios Experience was in full effect at the Citi Open on Saturday night—and he played well, too, hitting 19 aces, saving a match point and edging Tsitsipas 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (7) in a semifinal filled with all manner of memorable moments across its 2 hours, 7 minutes.
The 52nd-ranked Kyrgios will seek his sixth ATP title Sunday, when he faces No.
