Australian Open – ‘It Happened!’ – Nick Kyrgios wins with forearms to stun Dominic Thiem

Nick Kyrgios sent the home fans into the delirium with incredible forearm action to win the second set of his match against Dominic Thiem at the Australian Open.

The Australian Mercury delighted Melbourne fans from the start with a beautiful series of tricks and forearms, while the 2020 US Open champion was completely stunned.

Eurosport expert Jo Durie commented that Thiem was “completely lost” by Kyrgios’ wild but inspired game after two sets of magic.

The unseen Australian left the crowd in raptures as he won not only the second set in style but also with a forearm.

Chris Bradnam, on Eurosport’s comment, said: ‘It happened!’, When Thiem could not respond to the forearm that had taken root.

“The forearms secure the set! Thiem has a mountain to climb,” roars Bradnam.

It was not the first time the 25-year-old had surpassed the shocked Thiem in a comprehensive way in the match, and he struck him with another forearm earlier in the series, to the disbelief of his opponent and the fans .

In honor of Thiem, he responded to a brutal forgery from Kyrgios to try to get another forearm to serve the very next point in the perfect way, while blowing up an emphatic winner.

Kyrgios inspired the opening set in a similar way, while closing it for great roars from the fired-up crowd at John Cain Arena.
