Nick Kyrgios ends title drought with Citi Open victory in build-up to US Open

• Australian wins first ATP Tour title in three years
• Kyrgios beats Yoshihito Nishioka 6-4, 6-3 in Washington final

An emotional Nick Kyrgios has spoken of his struggles to discover his best form after ending a three-year title drought with victory in the Citi Open final in Washington. The Australian took just 81 minutes to defeat Japanese giant-killer Yoshihito Nishioka 6-4, 6-3 in Sunday's final to claim his first ATP Tour title since winning at the same event in 2019.

The 27-year-old then backed up his win by claiming the doubles title alongside American Jack Sock - his third doubles success of the year. Shortly after lifting the men's singles trophy, Kyrgios combined with Sock to defeat Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek 7-5, 6-4.
