Sip of beer and spoon service between the legs, Nick Kyrgios delights the public in Melbourne

After the palpable tension in Melbourne in recent weeks around the Djokovic affair, it’s time for decompression for the spectators of the Australian Open. For that, what better than the number 1 public entertainer, the local Nick Kyrgios? ! Opposed to Liam Broady on Tuesday, the most whimsical player on the circuit delighted his supporters by attempting (and succeeding) a totally crazy gesture on his serve.

Leading 40-0, the Aussie delivered a beautiful underhand serve-tweener combo that caught Broady by surprise, forcing him to go way too far out of the court. .

Not very Covid, you will tell us, but refreshing in every sense of the word. And after weeks of talking about visas, detention centers and political and sports grub, it’s all good to take to find a little smile.
