I would think if anyone would pull out the drop serve, it would be Kyrgios.

He actually tried it...

I want to see Nick win just to see how many fricks he will give vs. Stan.

For a match with only 1 break in 3 sets, this is entertaining as shite.

And Nick Kyrgios now has a 5-0 record in tiebreakers vs. Nadal.

Rafa wanted no part of that handshake.

He won? This is why the people love Nick. He can be electrifying when he is on his game. You just don't see that very often.

I'll get 'em this time. No way they will know that Stan will win tonight.

Oddsmakers:
Wawrinka -175
Kyrgios +165

Solid effort from Alex against Demon. Nick and Stan up next.

He's a shitehead, but I think he legitimately has a screw loose and is not just a lazy, entitled baby. So, I give him a little bit of a pass.

Vika looks different to me. I think she got a nose job or something.

I gave him a pass when he was younger thinking he would mature but he hasn't. his talent is undeniable though

Stan's one hander is one of the best shots in tennis history.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I've seen him hit a million great backhands, but those two screamers up the line made me just

I've played tennis my whole life and can't hit a flat or topspin one hander if my life depended on it. I can hit a defensive one handed slice in a pinch but thats about it. I cant imagine how strong you have to be to just rip a one a hander like that. I guess that's why he's the Stanimal.

You have a standard 2-hander but can’t hit a 1-hander? That seems weird to me. Is your left arm doing all the work?

I can hit the 1-hander way harder than 2, but I can’t control it so I never use it in matches.

yes I have a good 2 hander. I can't hit a 1 handed backhand with pace though.

I think it's rare to see a player with a strong flat or topspin one hander.
