Great Job by Nick.

What a great serve? What an amazing poise considering his lack of experience at this stage.

Now it is time for football. See you guys later.

It is 0-0 still in overtime in arg. vs. swiss.

stat.off the tv first time the no1 player has been beat by a player outside the top 100.

Now if Switzerland can beat Argentina , Roger is going to have a multiple o...I mean he would be pretty happy.

Kyrgios said Federer was his idol. He just did his idol a huge favor. See you next year, Rafa.

 

[huntingyou]

Rafa was too passive and afraid on the TB, good stuff from the 19 year old....kept his cool and actually played with confidence in the pressure situation. 125+ second serves!!!

Yes. I'm soo pumped. Fed better make finals at least

Not so fast, because Wawrinka can take him out. And Krygios looks scary too, and I have no doubt that he can beat anyone left in the draw with that kind of confidence.

True enough. I actually think wawrinka will take him out.

What an awesome performance. Since I came on here and whinged about young players having no impact on the tour in the Rankings thread it's slowly started to change.

Bad luck for Nadal, didn't play badly by any means until a pretty passive third set tie break and a mediocre fourth set all round, but until then it was all down to great serving and poise from Kyrgios.

Exciting times!

First time ever watching Kyrgios and what a player! Tough loss for the the Nadal camp but what a great new player on the scene. What does Kyrgios' ranking go to after this?

Wow! Impressive ! Cheers for that. The guy's completely fearless.

 

[El Dude]

From #144 to #66 in two matches. If he beats Raonic he's up to #35.

Battle of the servers but Kyrgios has a much better all round game and far better backhand. Should be interesting.

 

[crystalfire]

This is even more impressive considering gasquet had 5MPs to beat him and here he is beating nadal. Wow clutch.

 

[Front242]

Typo on wiki already with the score lol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Kyrgios

Edit: someone corrected it from 6-2 to 6-3.

 

[sid]

I would think Kyrgios is in that club who the hell want's to play him.Can he do what boris becker did @ 19 years of age?

 

[Fiero425]

I couldn't be more pleased! It all finally caught up to Nadal; that passive way of playing and dropping those 1st sets! :clap :angel:

 

[Front242]

Anyone put money on Kyrgios ?
