An emotional Nick Kyrgios feels like he finally "belongs" again after notching his first tour victory in two and a half years at the prestigious Miami Open.
Kyrgios laid bare his self doubts, saying he feared his career was over, after recovering from a set down to defeat American qualifier Mackenzie McDonald 3-6 6-3 6-4 in the first round of the $14.5 million Masters 1000 event on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT).
The win was his first in a tour-level match since the Japan Open in October 2022 and set up a second-round encounter with Russian Karen Khachanov, the last man to play Kyrgios in a grand slam singles at the US Open a couple of months before that Tokyo event.
