Nadal with his 6th title. What a guy.
Nick Kyrgios has sensationally quit his first-round match at the Shanghai Masters in apparent protest against the umpiring.
The volatile Australian stormed off after losing the first set 7-6 (7-5) in a tiebreaker.
Kyrgios's dramatic walk-off comes a year after he was suspended from the ATP Tour for tanking at the Shanghai Masters and leaves his immediate playing future in doubt once again. The 22-year-old had received two code violations for unsportsmanlike conduct and expressed his dismay at the chair umpire for copping a point penalty during the tiebreaker.
He was picked up on TV telling his courtside entourage he would stop if he lost the set, which he did.
The latest incident left commentators dumbfounded.
Servebot it home please
Nobody beat the other 6 times in a row. Roger could do it in Basel
Chipping away at that h2h

So ironic that Rafa is the best player in the world and can beat everyone on the planet except Roger Federer.
Nadal pulled out of Basel
