"I wake up, I want to play. And then I wake up and, I don't know, some days I don't."I felt good today, obviously. I didn't feel like I hit the ball extremely well. I didn't serve great. I thought I served OK. But he played far from his best tennis," Kyrgios said.Troicki has struggled of late with injury as well, also retiring from his first-round match at Wimbledon."We're kind of in the same boat," Kyrgios said.Kyrgios broke Troicki twice in each set while never facing a break point. Even so, he needed seven match points to finally put the 45th-ranked Serb away.Kyrgios's run of injury trouble has derailed what started out as a promising season for a player whose talent has often been overshadowed by his tantrums.He reached the semi-finals at Marseille, Acapulco and Miami, and notched impressive victories over Novak Djokovic at Marseille and Indian Wells.But illness forced him out of his scheduled Indian Wells quarter-final against Roger Federer, and he withdrew from Monte Carlo with elbow trouble and Rome with the hip injury that continued to dog him through Wimbledon."I'm getting a lot of treatment, trying to do my rehab every day," Kyrgios said. "I'm doing everything I can, I guess." Subscribe to our daily newsletter Get your daily dose of Sportstar with handpicked stories delivered right to your inbox!
