Video - Tokyo 2016: When Kyrgios Pulled Off One of the Craziest Shots of His Career

A consummate showman, Nick Kyrgios has never been afraid to attempt spectacular shots, as evidenced by this point during the 2016 edition of the Tokyo tournament.

Facing Luxembourg's Gilles Muller in the quarterfinals, the Australian had little trouble dispatching his opponent of the day: 6-4, 6-2 in just over an hour of play (1h10).

While the match seemed one-sided, it didn't take long for Kyrgios to liven up the game with shots only he could pull off. Indeed, in the third game of the second set, the Canberra native electrified the Japanese crowd with a tweener followed by a winning crosscourt backhand.

A move that epitomized his tournament, as Kyrgios then went on to win in the semifinals against Monfils (6-4, 6-4) and in the final against Goffin (4-6, 6-3, 7-5) to claim the third title of his career.
