Kyrgios tastes victory for first time since 2022

Injury plagued Australian feels like he 'belongs again' after Miami Open win

Australian Nick Kyrgios came from behind to defeat Mackenzie McDonald 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the first round of the Miami Open on Wednesday, earning his first win since October 2022.

Kyrgios, who retired from his first-round match at Indian Wells earlier this month due to pain in his surgically repaired right wrist, soaked up the moment, looking skyward and taking a deep breath after sealing the win.

"It has been a long journey, even to get to the start line of matches and be scared to even be able to finish them," he told Tennis TV.
