WATCH : Fan asks for 5 minutes of practice on Twitter and Nick Kyrgios obliged
A fan attending Rogers Cup named Matt Morin on Twitter asked the Australian player Nick Kyrgios to practice with him for just 5 minutes on the court and to everyone’s surprise, Kyrgios, too, agreed to play. The 22-year-old is undergoing a slump in form and also facing criticisms on his performance.
Nick Kyrgios has been suffering a slump in form and faced a severe backlash from the fans highly criticised for retiring from a match for the third consecutive time last week in Washington DC. The Australian youngster, though, decided to play the Rogers Cup this week, where he was approached by a fan to practice with him for five minutes.
The fan took to Twitter to express his desire.
@NickKyrgios I'm at rogers cup on tuesday, I know this is a long shot but could we hit for 5 minutes if you're practicing? That'd be dope!

Unexpectedly, in just an hour, he got a reply from Kyrgios saying that he would willingly practice with him and actually kept his promise.

Furthermore, Kyrgios also invited other tennis fans to come and have a hit with him in Montreal as he later tweeted, “Also anyone at Rogers cup throughout the week can come on my practice court and chill and hit if u want.”
