Nick Kyrgios injury: Australian defies shoulder issue to reach quarter ... (iNews)

Kyrgios suffers a shoulder injury in his last-16 match against Brandon Nakashima but battles through five sets to reach the quarters.

That did not stop him fighting his way back for a tie-break, despite continually needing medical treatment in between games, in the third set. The pain relief was obviously short-lived nonetheless; with seven games of the third set down, he added: “It’s not going away, at all”. It did not throw him off, though, as he powered past Nakashima with an ace and held to seal the set. Umpire Nico Helwerth had been watching him and after consultation with the physio, he was no longer the deflated Kyrgios that had looked in danger of retiring before the second set was out, also nursing his lower back. A lob that should have troubled Nakashima was overhit too and in turn, Kyrgios’ opponent went for the ace to test just how well the Australian would hold up. Yet from the moment the Australian began clutching his shoulder, he was moving gingerly and chinks in his armour had started to show.
