Nick Kyrgios never fails to entertain, does he? The Australian has been one of the most talented players on the tour in recent years. However, he has failed to capitalize due to his inconsistent performances and questionable attitude. The fact that his best showing at the Grand Slams in men’s singles has been a quarterfinal finish tells you the entire story. Despite all of this, he is a treat to watch when he is on song.

The 26-year-old is having one of the best seasons of his career this year. He enthralled the local crowd at the Australian Open, winning the men’s doubles titles with Thanasi Kokkinakis. Apart from this, he put on a decent performance during last week’s BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
