Nick Kyrgios ended Novak Djokovic's tournament in Acapulco and he showcased his outrageous talent in the process.
Much is made of the temperamental Aussie's on-court behaviour and having had a run-in with the crowd and opponent Dudi Sela early in the week, he was on his best behaviour on Thursday and served up his best tennis.
"I never have a problem getting up for these matches," Kyrgios said afterwards.
His talent is not in question and he showed just what he is capable of in beating the former world No 1 and 12-time Grand Slam champion in straight sets to march into a second successive ATP semi-final.
On his way to victory in a high-quality match, Kyrgios conjured up a couple of trademark hot dog shots and you __can see them both by hitting play on the video at the top of the page.
The action from the Abierto Mexicano continues on Friday night with the semi-finals where Kyrgios faces Sam Querrey who beat Dominic Thiem while Marin Cilic meets Rafael Nadal.
