Nick Kyrgios Close to Move Out of Top 100 in World Rankings After US Open 2021 Loss

At the US Open 2021, Nick Kyrgios suffered an embarrassing opening-round loss to Roberto Bautista Agut 6-3, 6-4, 6-0. Accordingly, his 90 rankings points from the 2019 US Open third round got replaced by this year’s 10 points for Round of 128. Thus, he will further slip in the ATP Rankings.

Firstly, the 26-year-old Australian has played limited tournaments in 2021, acquiring a bizarre 7-7 win-loss record. In addition to that, Kyrgios came to New York as the 86th best in the world. Now, the former World No.13 is close to falling out of the Top 100 list.

In what is the worst losing streak of his career, Kyrgios also registered his fourth consecutive loss on the Tour.

Nick Kyrgios nears out of the Top 100 following the US Open 2021 loss

On the subsequent Monday, Kyrgios will drop 80 rankings points from his tally. Moreover, he will fall from 86th place to 89th in the world.

More importantly, the US Open was the final annual Grand Slam tournament of the 2021 season. Hence, the opportunities for earning massive points are over for him.

Additionally, many players below Kyrgios in the rankings are still in contention for the American Slam. Therefore, it is likely that he might slip further in the ATP Rankings.

Apart from the Australian, Russian second seed Daniil Medvedev has a high drop chance in New York. That is because he is protecting 1200 ranking points from his 2019 US Open final.

Notably, Daniil has reached the second round, overtaking Richard Gasquet 6-4, 6-3, 6-1. He will next meet Germany’s Dominik Koepfer in the second round.
