Took Kyrgios as a straight bet. If he can channel his frustration of the time taken by Rafa positively rather than imploding, he'll smack him back to Spain. And I'm a big Rafa fan.
Time wasting and Kyrgios' antics aside, it's a brilliant match and some of the rallys amazing.

Interesting looking at Kyrgios' stats - going big on the second serve seems to have it's merits.
1st serve % - 65%
1st serve points won - 78.1%
2nd serve points won - 52.9%
that means that if he serves a 1st serve as his 2nd serve he should win the point 51% of the time, which is only slightly less than his 2nd serve points won %. But the element of surprise is probably worth a few % points alone. Which would therefore make it worthwhile.
