The tennis players have never met before on the ATP Tour
Let’s check the latest Tennis news, stats, injury reports, and Tennis odds for Kyrgios vs Ymer. We’ve plenty of Tennis picks and predictions for you to consider.
Kyrgios Having Best Year of His Career
Kyrgios has never lacked confidence — some would even say he’s far too cocky at times — but he’s been more confident this season, and it’s showing in his results
The talented Aussie took his game to another level at Wimbledon, where he reached the final before eventually losing to Novak Djokovic
Kyrgios entered the Atlanta Open last week but pulled out at the last minute due to a minor injury. He did, however, play in the doubles tournament with fellow Aussie Thannis Kokkinakis. They defeated the other all-Aussie team of Jason Kubler and John Peers in the final
As a wild-card in the Citi Open, Kyrgios rolled through his first three matches against Marcos Giron, Tommy Paul, and Reilly Opelka. After concluding his match against Opelka on Friday morning (the match was suspended Thursday night), he was forced to play another American, Frances Tiafoe, late Friday night
Kyrgios won the thrilling match 6-7, 7-6, 6-2, and needed 14 tie-break points in the second set. The match lasted two hours and 30 minutes
Mikael Ymer’s Surprise Run Continues
Ymer, who is ranked outside of the top 100 and had a losing record this season prior to the Citi Open, has taken down some big players in Washington, and that should give him the confidence he needs against Kyrgios who is playing at an elite level
Ymer overcame all scores and odds in his first-round match by defeating the heavily favored Andy Murray and followed that up with victories over Aslan Karatsev, Emil Ruusuvuori, and Sebastian Korda
While Kyrgios should be feeling fatigued after his lengthy match Friday, Ymer has played four three-set matches and has spent nearly 11 hours on the court this week
Evans vs Nishioka Head-to-Head
Kyrgios and Ymer have yet to play each other on the ATP this season or during their careers, which isn’t too surprising considering Ymer has spent time on the Challenger Tour this season, and Kyrgios has been selective with his tournaments

Kyrgios vs Ymer Prediction
Las Vegas odds have Kyrgios as the betting favorite here, and for obvious reasons. The Aussie is listed at -500 on the moneyline, and we expect him to win the match and advance to the final, but there’s not much value in that pick
The most attractive bet here is the game handicap, which has Kyrgios at -4 (-105) and Ymer +4 (-115). The match should be close — Ymer has gone three sets with each of his opponents at the Citi Open, and both players should be somewhat fatigued – so look for Ymer to keep it within four games
