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

Nick ripping balls and having some fun on the practice court playing with some juniors during Indian Wells Kids Day 2020. Nick playing points with a junior in a game of butts-up (Nick ends up winning) before playing a game of team mini-tennis with kids at the end (7:44 in the video).

Say what you will about Kyrgios, but he does have a soul. He gave that kid an experience that they'll remember for the rest of their lives.

[@footballhighlights1970]

Thank u!

[@genesisnkaidence8519]

Ya ima say what I want this is what I’m gonna say.. that kids form is ten times better he’s fuckin garbage

[@brianj.1687]

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.

[@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.

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.

[@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.

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.

[@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. However, he's still a young player, and the opportunity to really get to see a pro send balls to him that he couldn't return reminds him of how much he must continue to practice to play on that level.
