It's hard to imagine someone playing better than Novak Djokovic in the last three sets of that match.
His precision, power and poise after dropping the first set made it impossible for Kyrgios to get back into the match, even as he had so many opportunities.
Every time a rally started, it was a fight, and more often than not, Djokovic won them, especially in the biggest moments.
Down 0-40 or up 40-0, Djokovic's level was always elite, and it proved the difference more than a few times in that match.
Will Kyrgios be back? I honestly don't know. You'd have to think he's proven to himself he can do it, and he seemed to enjoy the tournament, so let's wait and see.
As for Djokovic, he's certainly going to keep hunting Nadal, who's out there on 22. And I'm sure he's eyeing off Serena's 23 and Margaret Court's 24 too.
He seems as hungry as ever, so I can't imagine him slowing down.
But speaking of slowing down, I'm going to cut this blog off there, but you can read the full match wrap and we'll have more coverage later today.
As for me, I'll be back blogging the State of Origin decider on Wednesday night, so I hope to see you there!
