said in his first-ever winner's speech after he became the second Russian to win
this trophy atfer Nikolay Davidenko won it in 2009.

Kevin Johnson Color Rush Jersey , following the Australia's 3-1 loss to the USA in the their Davis Cup tie in Melbourne over the weekend.
Tomic, who lost his rubber to John Isner on Thursday, was overheard by television cameras during the match saying that Kyrgios' illness - which forced
him to pull out of the tie - was "bulls***", but the world No. 20 didn't back
down when questioned about the outburst after the match.
He said he would "lose a little respect" for his compatriot if Kyrgios is well enough to fly to California to compete at the Indian Wells tournament later

"We finished the (conversation) on good terms, but it was weird. One of the questions I asked him was 'Are you playing Indian Wells?' and he was like 'I'm
still sick but I should be better tomorrow'.
"It was just weird for me. It's just disappointing not to have him here. He is an amazing player and it would have been important to have him here."
