Video: Kyrgios Replaces Hawk-Eye and Shows Gasquet Some Love
<![CDATA[]]>
Who needs Hawk-Eye when you have the ever friendly Nick Kyrgios ready to make the call?
Richard Gasquet didn’t need to throw a challenge out after he walloped this down-the-line backhand past Nick Kyrgios during his 7-6(4), 7-6(1) victory over the Aussie. That’s because Kyrgios was kind enough to hand over the point to the Frenchman—the Aussie appreciates good shotmaking and good relations, that much is clear.As for Gasquet, he’ll gladly accept donations. He improved to 6-2 lifetime against Kyrgios with his win and will face Kevin Anderson in the quarterfinals tomorrow.Speaking of shotmaking, Kyrgios most certainly had his say in that regard on Thursday before all was said and done, even if it was in a losing effort. See below for some otherworldly touch from the Aussie.
