Kyrgios
beat Tsonga,
the Aussie
kid’s dream

MELBOURNE, Australia
(AP) — With Will Smith in
the crowd and Jo-Wilfried
Tsonga across the net, Nick
Kyrgios was in his element
as the main attraction for
a night at the Australian
Open. Time to put on a
show. One of his favorite
actors — Smith was mak-
ing his Grand Slam debut
as a spectator — watched
Friday as Kyrgios held his
composure to beat child-
hood hero Tsonga 7-6 (5),
4-6, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5) in the
third round. The 17th-seed-
ed Kyrgios won the last five
points after falling behind
5-2 in the tiebreaker.
For an Australian public
desperate to see a first
home-grown winner of the
men’s national title since
1976, a seemingly reinvigo-
rated Kyrgios could be the
redemption story of the
tournament.
