NICK KYRGIOS faces a massive test in front of his home crowd at the Australian Open as he takes on number 3 seed Dominic Thiem.
The outspoken Aussie came through a five-set thriller against 29th seed Ugo Humbert in round two as he smashed his racket twice in arguments with umpire Marijana Veljovic.
But he knows he will have to be even better against Austrian Thiem, who pushed Novak Djokovic all the way in last year’s final.
