He wrote, “Aussie Aussie Aussie. Kyrrrrrgiooooos. Tennis should embrace Kyrgios. Agassi 2.0.”

Notably, Agassi is a former world No.1 tennis player, who clinched eight major championships. He also has an Olympic Gold on his resume.

He stepped onto the grass as 23rd seed player, but his aggressive approach and dominance stunned the World No.1. Undoubtedly, this is a new challenge. His purest form of striking the ball in a pressure situation won all hearts.
