    Kyrgios wins first singles match since making Wimbledon final

    WASHINGTON (AP) – Nick Kyrgios beat American Marcos Giron at the Citi Open on Tuesday, the Australian’s first singles match since reaching the Wimbledon final.

    Less than a month since reaching his first Grand Slam final before losing to Novak Djokovic, Kyrgios defeated Giron 6-2, 6-3.

    It won’t help him get over falling short at Wimbledon, which has not been easy. But, winning more may boost his confidence.

    “That was like the golden opportunity I felt for me,” Kyrgios said of Wimbledon. “There are so many things I would have done differently I think now that I have digested that match, but I’m doing all the right things to put myself in that position again.”

    Top-seeded Andrey Rublev advanced to the round of 16, beating Jack Draper 6-4, 6-2. In the women’s draw, Ajla Tomljanovic beat Sloane Stephens 6-1, 6-4.
