And of course, Kyrgios is out in the first round of the next tournament. Kyle Edmund was good enough to win in two easy sets. Should have placed a bet on this one since I had a feeling Kyrgios celebrated after winning Washington and this match was quite soon after that final.
It seems nobody is watching early rounds at Montreal or at least writing about it? I usually like to bet in early rounds since it is easier to predict some upsets with good odds, but this time I didn't even had time to browse trough offer.
Kyrgios defeat is surprising as I was expecting his victory at Washington to inspire him to win more titles, its about time he get serious about how he plays his game. The fight with the umpire regarding the lack of towels was unnecessary, and on the other hand Edmund kept his cool and won the match. Earlier rounds can get tricky at times especially in matches like this, you never know when Kyrgios is in mood and when he isnt.

It was normal that Kyrgios would be tired and not perform as he did at Washington.
Also, he is quite arrogant so he might think that he is the best in the game and he will win it easy, so he psychologically lost that.
