Andy Murray chides Kyrgios for his dancing skills

Nick Kyrgios was marvelous last week. He has crushed serves and forehands in Cincinnati. He has also crushed his pressers, offering up a bouquet of quotables including that he needs to get up for matches on back courts with 15 fans on hand as much as he gets up for main-stage showings against the titans of tennis. He has shared openly that David Ferrer gave him the advice four short years ago, when Kyrgios was 18, to "learn to suffer."

Kyrgios did not suffer greatly in Cincinnati, even with losing a final showdown against Grigor Dimitrov. The Australian wowed crowds and offered up high-fives down a line of front-row viewers after particular scintillating shotmaking.

He also danced. After flipping a forehand pass out of giant Ivo Karlovic's reach, he delivered a little jam of a shuffle:

That's when, good-naturedly so, Andy Murray came for him.

"For someone who parties so much id [sic] expect some better moves," Murray quipped on Kyrgios' Instagram post.

Never one to leave a line hanging, Kyrgios fired back, "I have no idea what you are talking about.. straight from the water bottle.."

Thus even in his absence, Murray makes his presence felt.
