Nick Kyrgios vs. Kids - IW Kids’ Day 3.7.20 [4k 60fps, Court Level]

[@buckerine]

the comments here are hilarious. the kid is pretty good and nick is being a good sport and competing with him. obviously the kid would get destroyed in a real match, but it's good to see nick being serious with him. the kid is very likely a highly ranked player in his age group in his region. this must be an awesome experience for the kid.

GenesisnKaidence You on crack or something? Nick is obviously dominating It’s called good form dipshit

[@JK-vc7ie]

Big deal. It’s zero sacrifice for Nick. Anyone does this. Hitting balls is fun. Plus, it sounds like it’s a requirement of the tournament. He would be better off not setting such a poor example for sportsmanship when he plays. He’s a dick. Even Hitler was nice to kids. NK is obviously not Hitler, but if Hitler can be nice then anyone can do it.

[@JK-vc7ie]

GenesisnKaidence NK is a world class tennis player with wins over Fed, nadal and joker. It’s moronic to criticize his form. And he could probably beat this kid playing left handed.

[@dragunovx93]

people complaining probably don't play tennis to a certain competitive level. He's giving the kid a lot of respect by going at him with this pace. My mouth is watering just thinking about playing someone like that. It looks like such a great learning experience.

[@ZeroHourEs]

I'd be surprised if they even play tennis, haha had a chance to hit with some national ranked players, that was a godsend for a weekend warrior like me. I'd relish being destroyed over and over until I can get some balls back, and the kid here ain't doing too shabby either.

[@8scatterbrain8]

Douglas indeed! the kid must have had so much fun I’m so jealous 😭

[@monstermichaeltoad5705]

your mouth is watering over playing with kyrgios balls? disgusting

[@theswissaviationenthusiast5229]

Sorry but smashing the ball towards him and nearly hitting him and when the boy was at the net nearly every shot was with much pace towards his body so in which way this is normal ... in my eyes zero respect. Ofc NK is different but still kinda bad how he plays with that boy. Imagin how Federer would have played wkth him. Much more nicer

[@corvusxephan6484]

@@theswissaviationenthusiast5229 well kyrgios personality is like that, even when you see him play on tour in his matches he fools around a lot too, he’s a great player but I gotta say his personality is greater in that sense haha, he’s one of my favorite players to watch on tour in terms of entertainment, that’s what he’s doing here with the kid, pure entertainment nothing serious that’s just how kyrgios rolls lol

Doesn't even matter if you're a Nick fan or not in this situation. Being a tennis player and getting to have a somewhat serious practice session with a top pro is an absolute dream. Looks way more fun than if Nick had played nice and just pushed every ball back. I'd love to be on the other end of the court and get to see what one of those trademark monster forehands looks like whizzing past me for a winner.

(3/9/20) - Obviously, I'm disappointed about IW being cancelled, as I was planning on being there another 4 days. Thanks to everyone who left comments over the past month or so listing players they want to see videos of. I've kept track of them all and will keep them in mind in the future, although at this point who knows what's going to happen to other tournaments later this year. Anyway, in the meantime, I'll post whatever else I have from 3.7.20 when I get the chance to get away from work. As always, thanks for watching.

I remember back in the day, Mike Tyson used to do similar sessions where you could do a few rounds with him on his training days. I was a small 14 year old at the time and was knocked out by a clean right hook in the first 20 seconds, but what a thrill that was!

[@rosePetrichor]

He respects them enough to not only hit at them well above the level they're probably used to, but to laugh, joke and banter with them too, and compliments their shots all the time. Hitting with a pro is probably intended to just be a publicity thing to get the kids interested and star-struck, but playing 'real' points rather than just hitting back will probably mean those kids improve their tennis as a result, too

He did it on purpose and the kid wanted it because he's a good player.
