Coverage of men’s draw; Alex de Minaur, Matthew Ebden


Recommended Posts

 

AUSTRALIA’S men also suffered Wimbledon heartbreak overnight, with Nick Kyrgios, Alex de Minaur and Matthew Ebden all crashing out of the tournament. Ironically, it will be a loss de Minaur treasures forever.

De Minaur was dismantled on centre court Rafael Nadal, going down in straight sets to the tennis legend.

Earlier, Frenchamn Gilles Simon ended Matthew Ebden’s bold Wimbledon surge, dispatching the West Australian in a tight four-setter.

Lastly, Kyrgios went down in straight sets to Kei Nishikori.

WOEFUL KYRGIOS CRASHES OUT AGAINST NISHIKORI
A BEWILDERED Nick Kyrgios revealed he succumbed to nerves and panicked during a crushing third-round Wimbledon defeat to Kei Nishikori.

The Australian 15th seed cut a miserable figure after being catapulted out of his favourite tournament 6-1 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 by merciless Nishikori in just 97 mimutes.

Warned for unsportsmanlike behaviour by umpire Mohamed Lahyani after clubbing a ball high into the stands, Kyrgios admitted he never settled.

“I was pretty uptight. A lot of nerves. I just struggled with a lot of things today,” he said.

“I just never settled. Obviously getting broken first game didn’t help me. I just kind of panicked. Everything kind of just went south, I guess.

“I was struggling. I didn’t serve well. I didn’t feel good from the ground. I almost couldn’t move. My footwork was terrible. Just a bad day, I guess.

“I’m disappointed. Like I’m pissed off, of course. Like I wanted to do well.

“Not much I can do really. Yeah, I mean, it’s disappointing. It is what it is right now.”

Complaining constantly about not being to move, 15th seed Kyrgios was unable to lay a glove on Nishikori’s serve.

The Japanese 24th seed restricted Kyrgios to just 20 of 86 points on return.

Weathering Kyrgios’ thunderbolt serve with incredible mobility, Nishikori completed a miserable day for Australia with all five singles players departing.

“I think that was the best game of my life, probably,” Nishikori said.

For Kyrgios, it was a vastly different story.

He conceded the first set in just 16 minutes, pocketing only 11 points to Nishikori’s 25.

Despite hints of comebacks in the subsequent two sets, the Australian was never able to unleash his arsenal.

Despite saving three match points in the last game, it was almost inevitable the match would end with a Kyrgios unforced error.

It did as Kyrgios mishit a forehand to depart as light faded.

Nishikori will face qualifier Ernests Gulbis after the Latvian rolled German fourth seed Alexander Zverev 7-6 (7-2) 4-6 5-7 6-3 6-0 - his third straight five-setter in a row.

NADAL GIVES DE MINAUR BRUTAL LESSON
IT was brutal, yet crammed with respect - a grand slam master class Alex de Minaur will treasure forever.

Rafael Nadal knows no other way than to contest every point of every match as if his life depends on it - even facing a teenager stepping onto Wimbledon’s centre court for the first time.

De Minaur’s lesson on the most hallowed court lasted 124 minutes but the experience gained in a 6-1 6-2 6-4 third-round defeat will fuel his progress for years to come.

Ranked 79 places below the world No 1 and making his tournament debut, de Minaur earned just seven games against a man with 17 majors to his credit.

Out-matched physically and mentally, de Minaur had neither the experience nor strength to trouble the 2008 and ‘10 champion.

But, as punishing as the defeat was, the 19-year-old again underlined why he’s held in increasingly high regard in the locker-room.

De Minaur was upbeat after the match.

“That’s where I want to be, playing on big courts against big players,” de Minaur said.

“I’ve got to work harder, get better, and hopefully next time I get the same opportunity I can push him harder.

“It was definitely something special. Being able to play on Centre Court against Rafa, that’s something that I will remember forever.”

The first match point de Minaur saved with a running angled forehand at 5-4 (40-30) in the third set on rampaging Nadal’s serve was a example of his quality.

His backhand winner down the line on the next point was enough to spook Nadal into taking an age to defend a break point, earning a warning from umpire Mohamed Lahyani.

The second match point de Minaur stared down was due to his capacity to run through the pain barrier.

Over and again.

In the end, determination and exuberance weren’t enough to protect de Minaur as Nadal marched remorsefully to victory.

But as lopsided as the scoreline was Nadal, 32, was relieved to reach the fourth round.

“A positive match for me against an opponent who is very young and has a lot of energy,” Nadal said.

“Just happy to get through.”

Watched by an astonishing array of sports greats including Rod Laver, Sir Bobby Charlton, Billie Jean King, Sergio Garcia and Carl Froch, de Minaur grinned as he walked onto centre court for the biggest moment of his short career.

Winning the toss and choosing to receive, de Minaur immediately telegraphed plans to plunder Nadal’s serve.

And he attacked from the very first point, chip-charging Nadal. He didn’t win the point, but the message was clear.

Unsurprisingly, Nadal had other ideas and, from the outset, slowed the young Australian.

And then he systematically took him apart. Brutally, but with respect.

At 19, de Minaur is one of only three teenagers in the top 100. Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas are the others.

De Minaur will rise to about No 70 after this tournament, a gain of almost 40 rungs in a month.

“I think I started the month maybe 110,” he said.

“Finishing the grass-court season top 70, it’s incredible for me.

“It’s the (grass) season that I always enjoy. I loved every second of it.

“I was able to play some great tennis, which makes it even better.

“I’ve had my best result at a slam, as well.

“But the next tournament is a completely new week. You’ve got to go back out there, compete and try to get better”.

SIMON ENDS EBEN’S RUN
FRENCHMAN Gilles Simon has ended Matthew Ebden’s bold Wimbledon surge, dispatching the West Australian in a tight four-setter.

Ebden’s career-best run at a grand slam ended with a 6-1 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 7-6 (7-2) loss to world No 53 Simon, temporarily halting an inspiring revival.

Triumphant over 10th seed David Goffin in the first round, Ebden was desperate to reach the second week and capitalise on deserved rankings gains.

The right-hander, who wallowed close to No 700 in the world 18 months ago, will rise to a career-best of No 42 after Wimbledon.

But his usually trusty serve betrayed him when he needed it most with 12 double faults.

Ebden out-gunned Simon 50-47 in the winners count, but the unforced error tally - 47-17 - told a different tale.

Simon took advantage of a sluggish Ebden to blaze through the first set in 20 minutes as the Sandgroper struggled desperately to find range.

The right-hander landed just one winner to Simon’s seven and made seven unforced errors to the Frenchman’s seven.

Ebden threatened Simon for the first time in the opening game of the second set, but three break point opportunities passed without conversion.

Ebden was eventually rewarded in the second bracket when his greater adventure delivered a tiebreak decision as Simon succumbed to Ebden’s forehand pressure.

Simon regained the ascendancy to pocket the third set and led the fourth 5-3. But, serving for the match at 5-4, the Frenchman was rocked by Ebden’s charge.

Forcing a tiebreak, Edben was again undone by a double fault, allowing the Frenchman to march into a fourth-round encounter with Juan Martin del Potro.

Del Potro eliminated Frenchman Benoit Paire 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 6-3.
