Nick Kyrgios: 'Win over Andreas Seppi feels so good'

By , Reporter
Australian teeneger Nick Kyrgios reveals his delight after beating Andreas Seppi to progress to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open in Melbourne.

Australian teenager Nick Kyrgios has said that "it feels so good" following his memorable victory over Andreas Seppi in the last 16 of the Australian Open.

The 19-year-old sealed passage into the quarter-finals of his home Grand Slam as he came from two sets down to save a match point, before eventually coming out the winner after five sets in Melbourne.

"It feels so good," Kyrgios told reporters after the win. "I know that he had a lot of confidence beating Roger [Federer] and knew he was going to make a lot of balls.

"Drawing on my experience at Wimbledon coming back against [Richard] Gasquet [from two sets down], I knew I had the legs to do that."

The win sees Kyrgios become the youngest man to reach the quarters at Melbourne Park since Andrey Cherkasov in 1990.
