The charismatic Aussie, Nick Kyrgios, is one of the most entertaining players in tennis. Besides, he is also one of the most competitive players against the top tennis players in the world. Not to forget his fancy shot-making that makes his games exciting and refreshing to watch.

Recently, practicing for the upcoming Laver Cup 2021, Kyrgios shared the court with two kids. During the session, he pulled off a stunning tweener pass during one of their rallies. What’s more interesting is that the two kids held on and won that point against the 26-year-old.

And so, the Laver Cup official Twitter account posted the video with a caption, “Teaching ‘tweeners to the next generation.” Naturally, Kyrgios appreciated the video and responded with a “Hahaha, too good.”

As usual, the Aussie star will don the red jersey and aim for silverware this year. Since Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Dominic Thiem are not playing in Team Europe, Kyrgios and Team World have a massive opportunity to win their maiden title.

Regrettably, Kyrgios’s good friend Jack Sock is an alternate for Team World in the Boston edition this year. And so, fans would probably miss the Kyrgios-Sock duo wearing red and taking on the court again.
