Fan love and off-court distractions: the social round-up

It’s down to the final few rounds at the Miami Open and the players are feeling the love from fans.

Nick Kyrgios became the first Australian to reach the quarterfinals since Lleyton Hewitt in 2002 and was impressed with the support he got:

Whoever the big guy was wearing the @Nike shirt sitting court side and cheering throughout, thanks man! That was big!! ????
