Rafael Nadal vs Nick Kyrgios Head2Head. Today in the Acapulco ATP it is the 6th meeting between Rafael Nadal and Nick Kyrgios. Kyrgios has dropped down the rankings to number 72 after his worst year since breaking onto the ATP Tour five years ago.
The last meeting between Nadal and Kyrgios was in the finals of Beijing 2017. Kyrgios made a very lame performance that time like he can do from time to time. Only a couple of weeks earlier he was at his best and won in straight sets in Cincinnati.
Key for this match for Kyrgios is to get a good start and serving well. That could mean an upset. If not it might be another straight sets victory for Nadal who displayed great tennis in his first round match against Misha Zverev.
