After winning 9 matches in a row, Nick Kyrgios eventually found a person that stopped him and it was Hubert Hurkacz.
The Polish player defeated his quarterfinal opponent from Montreal already once this year when he triumphed in Halle. However, this time, Nick Kyrgios was on a 9-match winning streak and he was a big favourite in the first quarterfinal match of the ATP 1000 event in Montreal.
First two sets offered a total of 9 break points but no breaks and so both sets ended in tie-breaks. Hurkacz won the first one when he got two mini-breaks and in the second one, it was Kyrgios who prevailed, also thanks to an incredible lucky net cord double bounce.
The Australian was visibly bothered by injuries throughout the match when he was touching his back and his legs. That showed in the third set when he got broken twice and so the Polish player captured the second victory of his career against Kyrgios winning the match 7-6(4), 6-7(5), 6-1.
