Nick Kyrgios was up a set against Rafael Nadal, and had already signalled his intentions to take the game to the World No. 1. But in the second set, he did more than that: he produced a bit of magic.
At 40-0 in the seventh game of Set 2, as Nadal served to take a 4-3 lead, Kyrgios got the entire stadium to drop their jaws as he struck an astounding tweener that kissed the line before dying a gentle death.
It was a teasing point that drew all round applause. What made it more spectacular was the casual, devil-may-care way that Kyrgios hit it. A moment that perfeclty encapsulated the kind of raw talent the young teenager carries in his bag.
