Nick Kyrgios' winner is that good he even stuns himself and reacts in typical Kyrgios fashion at Stuttgart Open…
Thankfully for the 26 year old, his shot wasn’t in vain. British icon Andy Murray is also in quarter final action, taking on top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas. In typical Kyrgios fashion, we’re talking about him just as much as the mind-blowing shot.
NICK KYRGIOS has been in action in the pre-Wimbledon warm up event, the Stuttgart Open.
He chose to sit out of the French Open as he has for the last four years. Kyrgios has suffered another stop-start 2022 with a run to the quarter-finals of Indian Wells dovetailing with an early second round knockout in his home Grand Slam. However, he has managed to experience success in the men’s doubles alongside partner Thanasi Kokkinakis, winning as a wildcard pairing down under. The tournament will hold a special place in Kyrgios’ memory having beaten Rafael Nadal on his way to the quarter-finals in his breakout tournament.

Nick Kyrgios was happy to dispose of fifth seed Nikoloz Basilashvili as he powered into the quarter-finals of the Stuttgart Open.
Against Basilashvili, the Australian needed to move into a higher gear, banging down 20 aces and winning 83 per cent of his first-serve points to set a meeting with Hungarian Marton Fucsovics, who beat third seed Hubert Hurkacz 7-5 6-7 (9-11) 6-3. It took just under two hours for the Australian maverick Kyrgios to subdue the challenge of Georgian Basilashvili on Thursday before he finally made it into the last eight of this event for the second time in his career, winning 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 6-3. Nick Kyrgios was happy to be reunited with his grass-court shoes and to dispose of “a hell of a player” in fifth seed Nikoloz Basilashvili as he powered into the quarter-finals of the Stuttgart Open.
