Watch Nick Kyrgios’ epic reaction here:

Hubert Hurkacz overcame 53 winners from Kyrgios to beat the Australian in three sets at the ATP Montreal Masters. The Polish eighth seed managed 43 winners of his own in a rapid-fire triumph that put him into his fourth semi-final at the Masters level. Hurkacz will next face Norway’s fourth-seeded Casper Ruud, who crushed home hope Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-1, 6-2, in 74 minutes.

“I was just running on fumes a bit towards the end,” Kyrgios said after the match as quoted by AFP.

“That’s normal. “But I feel good, feel confident. I’ve got three or four days of rest until Cincinnati. I’m going to use that, really capitalize and just rest and recover.”

The pair hit a combined 39 aces, with Hurkacz striking 20 of them.

“Over the last two months, Nick has been playing incredibly,” Hurkacz said.

“Today was a really tough match. Battling against him, it’s very challenging, but it’s also fun.

“Nick is a super opponent. He can make every single shot. He doesn’t really have that many weaknesses, if any. I was just trying to serve good and stay aggressive.”
