Nick Kyrgios chose Roger Federer when asked to name the biggest fashion icon in the game. Federer, a 20-time Grand Slam champion, has always had a “pretty clean” style, according to Kyrgios. “I think Federer’s court style is pretty clean,” Kyrgios said.
Hubert Hurkacz, who beat Federer in last year’s Wimbledon quarter-finals, also named the Swiss. “Probably like Bjorn Borg, I’d say me and Roger, always pretty clean,” Hurkacz replied.

Kyrgios fails to win his first Grand Slam title at the US Open
After upsetting Daniil Medvedev, Kyrgios made it clear his sights were set on the US Open title.
Unfortunately for Kyrgios, his US Open run ended in the next match after a five-set quarterfinal loss to Karen Khachanov. On Tuesday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Khachanov defeated Kyrgios 7-5 4-6 7-5 6-7 (3) 6-4. After the match, Kyrgios expressed great disappointment.
“Yeah, I just went flat,” Kyrgios said after the match. “Physically, I didn’t feel good. Then I ended up feeling good at the end of the match. I’m obviously devastated, but all credit to Karen.
He is a fighter. He is a fighter. I thought he served very well today. Honestly, probably the best server I’ve played in this tournament, to be honest, the way he was hitting his points under pressure. He just played the big points well, there really wasn’t anything to it.
I’m just devastated, obviously. I just feel like it was either winning all or nothing, to be honest. I feel like I just failed this event now. That’s how it feels. Honestly, I don’t even really care about any of the other tournaments.
I feel like in the Grand Slams, now having success in a Grand Slam, it’s like no other tournament really matters.” For the first time in his career, Kyrgios is set to skip the Laver Cup. he wants to spend some time with his family as his mother has been unwell for the past few months.
