Nick Kyrgios is the ultimate showman and he took just minutes to prove why as fans were gobsmacked during his Australian Open win.
UK publication The Metro called the underarm tweener “absolutely outrageous” on Twitter while Mikey Nicholson wrote: “Nick Kyrgios doesn’t care for your tennis serving etiquette.”
“Spinning serve through his legs. 1st service game of tournament. Unreal skill and great entertainment.”British tennis writer Mike Dickson said Kyrgios went “full Harlem Globetrotter on Liam Broady” and The Tennis Podcast added: “Nick Kyrgios: Serves a 220km//h body serve. Also Nick Kyrgios: Underarm serve tweener through legs, wins point. Never seen that before.”There was more of the same as the match wore on, but a behind-the-back serve didn’t go so well.
The superstar from Canberra maintained the rage in the third set as he charged into the second round of his favourite tournament in the world.
