Big deal. It’s zero sacrifice for Nick. Anyone does this. Hitting balls is fun. Plus, it sounds like it’s a requirement of the tournament. He would be better off not setting such a poor example for sportsmanship when he plays. He’s a dick. Even Hitler was nice to kids. NK is obviously not Hitler, but if Hitler can be nice then anyone can do it.
GenesisnKaidence NK is a world class tennis player with wins over Fed, nadal and joker. It’s moronic to criticize his form. And he could probably beat this kid playing left handed.
the comments here are hilarious. the kid is pretty good and nick is being a good sport and competing with him. obviously the kid would get destroyed in a real match, but it's good to see nick being serious with him. the kid is very likely a highly ranked player in his age group in his region. this must be an awesome experience for the kid.
people complaining probably don't play tennis to a certain competitive level. He's giving the kid a lot of respect by going at him with this pace. My mouth is watering just thinking about playing someone like that. It looks like such a great learning experience.
I'd be surprised if they even play tennis, haha had a chance to hit with some national ranked players, that was a godsend for a weekend warrior like me. I'd relish being destroyed over and over until I can get some balls back, and the kid here ain't doing too shabby either.
Sorry but smashing the ball towards him and nearly hitting him and when the boy was at the net nearly every shot was with much pace towards his body so in which way this is normal ... in my eyes zero respect. Ofc NK is different but still kinda bad how he plays with that boy. Imagin how Federer would have played wkth him. Much more nicer
@@theswissaviationenthusiast5229 well kyrgios personality is like that, even when you see him play on tour in his matches he fools around a lot too, he’s a great player but I gotta say his personality is greater in that sense haha, he’s one of my favorite players to watch on tour in terms of entertainment, that’s what he’s doing here with the kid, pure entertainment nothing serious that’s just how kyrgios rolls lol
Doesn't even matter if you're a Nick fan or not in this situation. Being a tennis player and getting to have a somewhat serious practice session with a top pro is an absolute dream. Looks way more fun than if Nick had played nice and just pushed every ball back. I'd love to be on the other end of the court and get to see what one of those trademark monster forehands looks like whizzing past me for a winner.
(3/9/20) - Obviously, I'm disappointed about IW being cancelled, as I was planning on being there another 4 days. Thanks to everyone who left comments over the past month or so listing players they want to see videos of. I've kept track of them all and will keep them in mind in the future, although at this point who knows what's going to happen to other tournaments later this year. Anyway, in the meantime, I'll post whatever else I have from 3.7.20 when I get the chance to get away from work. As always, thanks for watching.
rubbish. I watched every match he played in this year's AO live. Breath taking stuff. Best matches of the tournament, 4 hours in some. His match against Rafa will go down in history.
Not even funny how naturally good Nick is. He has the same touch as Federer, Federer just has a better work ethic and does not allow his emotions to cloud his ability. I always love watching Nick play.
I remember back in the day, Mike Tyson used to do similar sessions where you could do a few rounds with him on his training days. I was a small 14 year old at the time and was knocked out by a clean right hook in the first 20 seconds, but what a thrill that was! Even the surgeons stitching my head back on agreed that it was well worth the hospital bills. Great times
it's one thing to go hard against kids in something like tennis, but Tyson must be a pretty shitty person to actually punch a 14 year old kid that hard unless we're missing some details of the story
My cousin has a friend that was recently training and sparing with mike for his upcoming fight. He got him with his famous hook and knocked his tooth out🤣 definitely not worth whatever they gave him (to me atleast lmao)
Kyrgios is absolutely right to play this way. What a momnet to be able to face big player like him. I would pay a lot to try to defend against those missiles
@@Menga213 You are correct sir. I really should learn my historical tennis-player sneaker facts more before commenting. My sincere apologies for not acknowledging sir Roger the Great(est) of All Time.
Sanam Amin Definitely not easily. 16 yo Nadal beat world #4 Carlos Moya on clay. A year later he beat prime Federer on hard 6-3 6-3. A 16 year old Rafa would probably still beat Nick on clay, but lose on hard and grass. In a rally like this, with no serving? It’d be pretty even tbh lol
@@SJ-di5zu You know they're all better than 18 years ago? You know they've all went forward from that time? :D Nick would wipe 16 y/o nadal like a kiddo. Or do you think 16 y/o Nadal would play even-steven with todays Nadal? Wut :D
This is what it’s about right here! NK just made these kids day just like they make him happy. I love this. We need more of this around the United States and the world.
@@miinht8855 you’re right, he is going easy… he isn’t playing against Federer. And he did give him some corner shots and some powerful shots with spin… all I’m saying is that the young boy has nice control over his returns
He respects them enough to not only hit at them well above the level they're probably used to, but to laugh, joke and banter with them too, and compliments their shots all the time. Hitting with a pro is probably intended to just be a publicity thing to get the kids interested and star-struck, but playing 'real' points rather than just hitting back will probably mean those kids improve their tennis as a result, too
He did it on purpose and the kid wanted it because he's a good player. However, he's still a young player, and the opportunity to really get to see a pro send balls to him that he couldn't return reminds him of how much he must continue to practice to play on that level. Trust me, the young guy loved it!
Nick has a very good heart . He’s done a lot for charity and is a nice dude in person. Tremendous talent it’s just his mental struggles have gotten the best of him over the years. He’s been composed the last few matches at Wimbledon . I hope he wins the whole thing because he can beat anyone.
Most talented tennis player on the tour. If he would just handle his anger issues he would be winning a grand slam this year for sure. Pure entertainer.
FYI to anyone watching that doesn't play - that kid is very very good. Not only is he returning full power shots from a world level pro, he can also do super advanced techniques like sliding for shots
It is really cool that Kyrgios played seriously against the kid. When I (NTRP 4.0) play against pros for money, I give them an incentive to play hard. I set a price for the match and tell them I will get a $1.00 discount for every point I win. I got a total of 3 points against Federico Coria, 7 against Martin Cuevas, 8 against Sekou Bangoura, and 14 against doubles-specialist Boris Arias
Kyrgios is so athletically gifted, it's a shame he doesn't possess a championship mentality in the majors. After Federer, Nadal and Djokovich leave. Perhaps he will own some Grand Slam titles.
I think he is good enough to and I hope he does as he’s one of my favourites. but I’m not sure he can physically make it 2 weeks in 5 set tennis. When it gets to the 2nd week he seems tired and not at his best, which is when you need to start playing better to win
Say what you will about nick, he may be playing with pace but this kid improved every second he hit with nick, great learning curve in tennis, nick pushed him and in turn the kid was improving every stroke
Nick: I’m in his head, that’s what I’m good at. Me: So you became a professional not by your skill at tennis but your skill at getting into people’s heads?

Saw javale get a triple double w blocks against the bulls btw
careless attire with AJ shoes, tennis shorts, basketball top. And an unusually serious attitude towards a kid... What a headstrong Frankenstein!
Thank You! Awesome quality! Was missing badly all this!!!
Man I would kill to get a session like this with Nick that forehand is to die for
This kid is almost keeping up with the intensity Kyrgios is delivering, he really has potential..
Thanks coach
This is class from Kygrios. He knew the kid was a solid player and pushed him by hitting well instead of making it easy. Kudos
nick when you be the number 1
I've been waiting for six years
