WATCH: Entertainment galore from ‘box office’ Nick Kyrgios at Miami Open
Underarm aces, tweeners and no-look shots were just some of the highlights from Nick Kyrgios during his Miami Open victory over Dusan Lajovic.
Just a day after he courted controversy again after calling the chair umpire a “f*****g disgrace” during his doubles match with Taylor Fritz, Kyrgios made sure his racket did all the talking in the singles.
The Australian claimed a comfortable 6-3, 6-1 win over Lajovic to secure his place in the last 16 at the Hard Rock Stadium.
While the match was a one-sided affair, Kyrgios gave the crowd plenty to cheer about.
How about a tweener as early as the third game of the match?
There was also this underarm ace.
