Nick Kyrgios may be this generation's "bad boy" of tennis, but one can't deny that the Aussie has got some serious skills. Case-in-point, check out the tweener he hit during his quarterfinal match against Kei Nishikori in Madrid.

Kyrgios was sent running before pulling out the slickest hot shot of the tournament. Nishikori tried to reach the ball, but it was in vain. However, that shot didn't save Kyrgios from eventually losing to the Japanese No. 1, 7-6 (6), 6-7 (1), 3-6.
