Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios had a pretty great year so far. After losing the men’s singles match to Daniil Medvedev in the second round at the Australian Open, he went on to win the doubles title at the Australian open with Thanasi Kokkinakis. Both the Aussies absolutely lit up the crowd with their spectacular plays on the court.
