Jacob Fearnley earned what he described as the “best” win of his career as he beat Nick Kyrgios at the Australian Open. The 23-year-old from Edinburgh had to contend with both Kyrgios and a raucous crowd roaring on the home favourite, but he dealt with both in hugely impressive fashion.

Great Britain's Jacob Fearnley claimed the biggest win of his career at the Australian Open with a straight-sets victory over Nick Kyrgios. Home favourite Kyrgios, the 2022 Wimbledon finalist, was handicapped by an abdominal strain as Fearnley prevailed 7-6 (3) 6-3 7-6 (2) in two hours and 19 minutes in Melbourne.

Jacob Fearnley decided to delete Instagram ahead of his Australian Open match against Nick Kyrgios because he was receiving lots of messages and it was distracting him. In what will be his debut at Melbourne Park, the British tennis player is set to meet a home favorite and one of the players whose matches draw the most attention.
