Kyrgios calls out Ben Stiller during tennis match

Nick Kyrgios was heckled during his match with Rafa Nadal, so he heckled back. It just happened that the fan in question was sitting next to a famous actor.

Nick Kyrgios had an amusing brush with Hollywood actor Ben Stiller during his Indian Wells quarter-final match against Rafael Nadal.

During the third and final set of the match, a fan started heckling Kyrgios, instructing him on how to serve against Nadal, who had already forced some break points.

Kyrgios turned to the fan and addressed him directly. "Just relax. Are you playing? Are you good at tennis?" The fan answered in the negative to both.

Kyrgios then said, "Exactly. So why are you speaking?" Then he pointed at Ben Stiller and said, "Do I tell him how to act? No."

Point made.

Nadal clinched the set and claimed his 19th consecutive win.
