However, for now the fans won’t witness any clash between the two tennis stars as both have withdrawn from the US Open. But a video is surfacing on the internet where in a glimpse of their rivalry can be seen in spirit.

Rafael Nadal avenged his Wimbledon loss to Nick Kyrgios last year

Nadal leads in the eight match record by 5-3 but Nick has also showed excellent performances. He has won thrice against the spanish tennis star. Besides that, Nick came into limelight only after he defeated Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon 2014.

Two lads nail the Rafael Nadal vs Nick Kyrgios matchup

A tweet by Amazon Prime read, “These lads have got Rafael Nadal and Nick Kyrgios spot on.”

In the video, the boy portraying Rafael Nadal jumps exaggeratedly in his pre-match warm-up. His momentum even takes him over the net, leaving ‘Kyrgios’ stunned.

The two lads have acted perfectly in the video. The way Nadal celebrates and Kyrgios spits his frustration out has been beautifully portrayed. But there is one flaw in the video. The kid playing Nadla plays with his right hand while Nadal actually plays with his left hand. However, this small flaw has been largely overlooked.
