Nick Kyrgios is putting on quite the show at Queen's Club with ace after ace after ace. On Friday, he took out defending champion Feliciano Lopez, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3) with the help of 32 aces, including one on match point.

He also struck down that exact same number of aces in his three-set win over Kyle Edmund the day before in the round of 16. Adding to the impressiveness is Kyrgios' tendency to get a little silly during his matches. There's the tweeners and tweener lobs, of course, but also what appears to be changes to his service motion.

The 23-year-old Australian is on the comeback from an elbow injury that sidelined him for two months, forcing him to miss the French Open. Though he's playing with a sleeve on his right arm, his serve has been unhindered.
