Nick Kyrgios had another good run in Canada, where he was stopped only by an inspired Hubert Hurkacz in the quarterfinals. Nick played extremely well until he was overwhelmed by his physical condition and the tennis of his opponent.
Nevertheless, the Australian player didn’t miss the chance to entertain the tennis fans. Nick won a crucial point in the second-set tiebreak after hitting the net cord twice with the same shot. Kyrgios’ reaction was absolutely hilarious.
