Kyrgios wins, injury staying

INJURY-PLAGUED Nick Kyrgios has tasted victory for the first time since May, beating Viktor Troicki 6-1, 6-2 at the Rogers Cup in Montreal.

The match was the first the world No.24 has completed in his past three encounters after his long-standing hip problem forced him to retire from Queen’s Club, Wimbledon and last week’s Citi Open in Washington.

Kyrgios looked fresh, seeing off Troicki in 51 minutes, but warned he was rolling the dice with injury, which he admits could flare up any time.
