Nick Kyrgios really did not want to do the post-match press conference after losing to Hurkacz in Montreal but he had to.
Kyrgios was not happy after his lacklustre performance against Hubert Hurkacz in Montreal in which he collapsed in the final set to drop it 1-6. Kyrgios was bothered by his back during the match but continued playing on with the intent of keeping points as short as possible.
He brought the same mentality to the conference room where he gave really brief and short responses prompting one media member to ask him why he was not responding in the usual chatty matter:
"As for media, I couldn't care less. I do this because I have to be here and I don't want to get fined, so…I mean, it's routine. I don't really enjoy it, to be honest. I'd rather not be here right now."
Obviously not happy with the loss but he'll have a chance to do better in Cincinnati in a few days. After this solid quarterfinal run, Kyrgios is set to return to the top 30 on Monday.
