There’s been lots of drama on and off the court in Madrid this week – which is creating lots of social media buzz…
Don’t you hate it when you have to go on court and you’re in the middle of a conversation with your girlfriend – Nick Kyrgios does:

Nick finally said goodbye to Ajla Tomljanovic and got down to business, scoring a second round win in 58 minutes.
He was so impressive fans were lining up for selfies, including doubles partner Jack Sock:
