MELBOURNE – Inasmuch as the Australian Open stands for the proposition that you can hold a two-week party and tack on a tennis tournament, you will not be surprised to learn that there was an INXS cover band on the grounds today. While the group blew through the hits, it could have doubled as a tribute to Nick Kyrgios. Devil Inside. New Sensation. Maybe above all Mystify, what with lyrics like “Eternally wild with the power, to make every moment come alive.”
Kyrgios is 21 now—young, but not a rookie—and he still mystifies.
