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.
