Watch Kyrgios celebrate his 21st birthday in Estoril with this wild net party point in the opening-set tiebreak.


The second-seeded Kyrgios used that point to propel himself past Inigo Cervantes 7-6 (4), 7-5.

Then came the birthday surprise: This on-court cake delivered to the winner.


 

Happy 21st Birthday @k1ngkyrg1os @estorilopen !!

Next up for Kyrgios is a quarterfinal clash with fellow young gun Borna Coric.

"“It’s going to be a tough match,” Kyrgios said. “He has been playing well.”
