Sometimes it's good to mix things up be it with your playing styles, shot selection or hitting partner. Life can become stale if you don't adapt.

Nick Kyrgios changed things up by having Amanda Anisimova as his hitting partner to warm up for Indian Wells. The Aussie picked the youngest WTA player in the Top 100, currently ranked No. 67 in the world.  Anisimova recently revealed that Kyrgios is her dream mixed doubles partner.

The 17-year-old impressed Kyrgios, who said, "She's unbelievably good" during the session.

Kyrgios is hoping his new training buddy will help him continue his winning streak after capturing the Acapulco title last week. He has bye and is the No. 31 seed.

The extra work has already paid off for Anisimova, who dispatched Aleksandra Krunic, 6-0, 6-4.
