Nick Kyrgios isn’t one to shy away from clowning on someone if given half an opportunity, it’s just that most didn’t think it would come against Kyle Edmund in a Round of 16 match.
Nick Kyrgios hit the most disrespectful winner between his legs
It’s not about what you do, but how you do it.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Kyrgios upset the No. 7 seed Edmund at the Queen’s Club Championships on Thursday, and won a third set point by lobbing it between his legs like it was nothing. It’s not like Kyrgios doesn’t like to attempt a between-the-legs shot now and then, but he normally makes it look at least a little bit difficult — if only to make his opponent feel better.
This shameless clowning on Edmund is just plain mean — and it’s also pretty dang awesome. Immediately following the shot hit another tweener, just because he can.
I’m sure someone out there is clutching their pearls at the indignity of Kyrgios stunting on a fool, but tennis needs a little more swagger.
