Nick Kyrgios didn’t defeat Kei Nishikori in the Madrid quarter-finals, but at least he left a gift to his tennis fans.
What happened?
Kyrgios was trying to bring the 1st set to the tie-break. He was serving on a 5-6 30-0 score line when he went to the net, but Kei managed to come out with a great lob that the Australian had to chase to the baseline before producing yet another magic… love that!
Nishikori back to down Kyrgios 6-7, 7-6, 6-3.
We wonder what tennis will be like post Federer, Nadal, Djokovic.
If it’s like that, fine.

Though Kyrgios lost to Nishikori, he did register a spectacular shot with this tweener-lob. #SCTop10 https://t.co/F8syOTs59c
