More info Nick Kyrgios has claimed he wants to play the Japan Open for the rest of his career as he committed to the tournament after booking his spot in the quarter-finals. The world No 20 came from a set down to defeat Kamil Majchrzak 3-6 6-2 6-2 on Thursday and revealed he was having as much fun off the court as he was on it in Tokyo. Kyrgios is through to the last-eight of the Japan Open, where he won the title back in 2016. The fifth seed needed an hour and 21 minutes to see off the world No 121 on Thursday as he reached the quarter-final for a second-consecutive tournament following his US Open run last month. The 27-year-old has been a busy man in Tokyo - playing both the singles and doubles draws as well as exploring as much of the city as he can between matches. Kyrgios gushed over his time in the Japanese capital after his win over the Pole, admitting that he wanted to return to the tournament for as long as he played. “We went to the Pokemon Centre the other day and then we went to the Shrine,” he said after his three-set comeback win. “We’ve been doing some really fun things honestly, we also went to the zoo, we saw some pandas so Japan has been amazing. The food - we’ve got to have dinner every night.” JUST IN: Tennis stars discover punishment for scrap as ATP dish out hefty fine
