19 Reasons We Are All Nick Kyrgios
Greece, speed lines and pizza. Tennis has a new sensation.
19-year-old Aussie Nick Kyrgios has shocked Spanish world number one Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon in one of the great upsets.
And although it wasn't a cake-walk, Kyrgios was chill enough to hit winners like this.
"Are you not entertained??!!"
Kyrgios is the first player outside the top 100 to defeat a world number one at a major tournament in 22 years!
1. Nicholas Hilmy Kyrgios loves Greece because his father Giorgio is Greek.
2. Nick Kyrgios has divided loyalties at the World Cup.
