Nick Kyrgios is one of the most exciting tennis players on tour. Every time he takes the court, something big is going to happen and the crowd will be entertained.
Unfortunately for one young fan, there was a brief moment where Kyrgios antics led to a brutal moment.
Kyrgios was playing in a doubles event at the Australian Open with partner Thanasi Kokkinakis when he fired off a shot out of frustration. The ball launched into the crowd and DRILLED a kid right in the stomach.
After seeing the kid burst into tears, Kyrgios ran over and gifted the young fan one of his rackets.

Earlier in the tournament, the 26-year-old celebrated a big win by taking a sip out of one of the courtside fan’s beers.

Win or lose, the Aussie is always must-see television.
Kyrgios was eliminated from the singles tournament after a loss to No. 2 seed Daniil Medvedev. Kyrgios and Kokkinakis, meanwhile, advanced to the doubles semifinals where they will take on the No. 3 seed duo of Horacio Zeballos and Marcel Granollers.
