Amazing, every way you slice it:

Nick Kyrgios has delivered the most outstanding performance of his fledgling career to shock world No 1 Rafael Nadal to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals…

His 7-6 (7-5) 5-7 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 triumph over 14-time grand slam champion Nadal is the first time a teenager has beaten a world No 1 at the majors since 2005…

By the end of the match, Nadal — grand slam tennis’s ultimate warrior — was broken and baffled on losing to world No 144 Kyrgios…

Few would be prepared to write of the youngster who over the past week created a huge impression. First-round victory over Frenchman Stephane Robert was followed by a herculean effort to save a Wimbledon record nine match points against Richard Gasquet before he edged past Czech Jiri Vesely…

Contesting only his 14th match at senior level, Kyrgios blazed his way past a grand slam immortal — only two weeks after losing in the first round of a Nottingham Challenge.
