Kyrgios faces a tough time

-

NICK Kyrgios will have to create history to win Wimbledon after being seeded 20th.

While Boris Becker (1985) and Goran Ivanisevic (2001) engineered miracle triumphs as unseeded players, no man has ever lifted the most prestigiou­s title in tennis seeded 20th.

The Australian will have to play one of the top 16 seeds – a group which includes title favourite Roger Federer, defending champion Andy Murray or triple winner Novak Djokovic – from the third round onwards.
