Nick Kyrgios overcame a hand injury, leg cramps and a solid performance from Stan Wawrinka to prevail 7-5, 6-7(3), 6-4 and advance to the semi-finals of the Acapulco International.


The mercurial Australian, who defeated Rafal Nadal the night before in a match where the Spaniard later criticised Kyrgios’ on-court demeanor, was focused in the quarter-final and outplayed Wawrinka in the match’s biggest moments despite crowd that vocally backed the Swiss.

The night did not begin well for the hard-hitting Kyrgios, who slipped while hitting a backhand in the match’s opening game, opening up a cut on his right hand that required medical attention.


Leg cramps, which also required a visit from the trainers, followed in the deciding set but nothing could derail Kyrgios, who won his final service game at love to keep his hopes of a maiden championship at the tournament alive.
