Tennis player seals ace with serve of just 26mph as fans say Nick Kyrgios is "jealous"
Tennis star Maxime Cressy hit one of the most bizarre aces you'll ever see at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.US star Cressy, ranked world No 72, was competing against compatriot Christopher Eubanks during the opening round of the first American Masters 1000 event on Thursday.The 24-year-old had secured the first set and was serving 3-4 down in the second set, when the extraordinary happened.On a blustery day in the California desert, Cressy threw the ball up for the serve and after making contact, the ball ballooned up into the air.It went very high, but not very far and only just made its way over the net, causing Eubanks to run forward in a desperate attempt to return.However, the 25-year-old couldn't quite get to the 26mph serve and was left stunned, while Cressey sported a wry smile as he sheepishly apologised to his opponent.A fan took to Twitter to compare Cressy’s ace speed to that Nick Kyrgios' famous underarm serve.“@NickKyrgios is jealous now!” twitter user @redmili86 said in reference to the astounding hawkeye graphic of the ace.At just 26mph, it is one of the slowest serves of all time, with no official ranking of previous efforts.Tennis TV, who provided coverage of the match, joked that it was the “slowest and greatest ace you’ll ever see.”What is the most bizarre serve you've ever witnessed? Let us know in the comments section.The fastest serve ever recorded was a whopping 157.2 mph thunderbolt from John Isner at the 2016 Davis Cup - meaning Cressy's was 131.2 mph slower.Eubanks was unfazed by the bizarre serve though as he edged the second set 7-6 and 10-8 on the tiebreak.Buoyed by his level of play, he would go on to take the final set and defeat Cressy 5-7, 7-6(8), 6-4.He struck 15 aces in the

Australian Open.Madness unfolded at the brand new Kia Arena as the Australian duo defeated No.6 seeded pair Tim Puetz of Germany and New Zealander Michael Venus 7-5 3-6 6-3.In never before witnessed scenes, the raucous crowd continuously yelled out in the middle of points and Venus’ service action in an attempt to aid their domestic tennis stars.And with Kyrgios and Kokkinakis encouraging the mayhem, officials were unable to maintain order to the dismay of some journalists and viewers.Each one of the pair’s Australian Open matches until now has raised the atmosphere a little more.The second set of their triumph saw several dramatic moments in particular which increased the frenzy inside the Kia Arena.That included Kyrgios being warned for time violations on his serve, opting to toss the ball up several times before finally entering his serve motion, which prompted an angry outburst from Venus who complained to the chair umpire.Kyrgios then complained about Venus’ serve in what led to a feisty war-of-words between the two during every service towards the end of the second set.That added to the drama as the crowd were given further reason to turn against Venus, who appeared to revel in the abuse.However, not everyone was a fan of the dramatic spectacle, with various journalists taking to Twitter to voice their disapproval.Australian journalist Monica Attard wrote: “The crowd behaviour made it unwatchable. What a disgrace.

Bad boy Nick Kyrgios' ex-girlfriends from bikini model to Russian tennis star
and then swigged a beer handed to him by a fan after he demolished Briton Liam Broady in his opening match.Defeat to de facto top seed Daniil Medvedev followed, but he's continued to be noticed, with beaten opponents offering to fight him in the gym after an ill-tempered second-round doubles match.But while the aforementioned dramas all relate - albeit tenuously - to tennis matches, his much publicised love-life also remains in the spotlight.He's currently dating Costeen Hatzi, just months after his volatile split from model Chiara Passari, and the Australian's relationships - just like his tennis career - have rarely been low-key.Kyrgios was being hailed as a prestigious young talent on the tennis scene when he began dating fellow pro Ajla Tomljanovic - who hails from Croatia but had by then decided to represent Australia.The pair were frequently spotted with each other and even played as partners in mixed doubles at the Australian Open in 2015 and 2016. Indeed, Kyrgios once told reporters: “It’s when I’m with her that I am the happiest.”Seemingly, that didn't mean happy enough, with the couple splitting in 2017 after Kyrgios was photographed partying with other female tennis players.Tomljanovic did the honourable thing and deactivated her social media after unfollowing her ex-boyfriend, and although Kyrgios later publicly hinted at a reunion, the romance never rekindled.She's now in a relationship with another tennis star, Matteo Berrettini.Come March 2020, and Kyrgios was dating another fellow tennis star, Russian player Anna Kalinskaya.
