                         NICK KYRGIOS


                When the world responds to an astounding Wimbledon upset, it appears the Australian teen behind the win seems to be "calm and composite". His first date with Rafael Nadal was a dream come true, knocking Nadal out of Wimbledon and off the top rung of men's tennis,had set the alarm for many futuristic young guns in the court.
               The 19-year-old, 144th seed did the unthinkable and bundled out world No. 1 Rafael Nadal in four sets in one of the all-time great Grand Slam giant-slayings. A kid on a wildcard somehow holding his nerve against one of the greatest players of all time. The amazing thing was that Nadal actually played really well.But,the Canberran never looked back with his dominance throughout the tournament.

Kyrgios an Australian teenager "with no fear and a golden arm ... who blew the world No. 1 off centre court".

                   This untiring young gun saved 10 match points to upset Richard Gasquet in the 2nd round of Wimbledon 2014. The "freakish" and "audacious" between the legs shot against Nadal,which became "THE SHOT OF THE YEAR",will be remembered forever in the history of Wimbledon. His performance was widely applauded by many tennis experts and Legends like Borg,Sampras,Ivanisevic,Agassi and so on.
