Nick Kyrgios asks Ben Stiller if he can star in a movie with him

Nick Kyrgios has asked Ben Stiller for a movie debut in the wake of the hilarious incident at Indian Wells last week where the Australian infamously roped the Hollywood funnyman into his meltdown during a loss to Rafael Nadal.

Kyrgios fell to Australian Open champion Nadal in a three-set thriller, eventually losing 7-6 (7-0) 5-7 6-4 to end an extraordinary tournament, with fans treated to 24-carat Kyrgios tantrums throughout the rollercoaster clash.

That included roping Stiller into a tirade against a heckling fan, saying: 'Don't tell me how to play. [Pointing at Stiller and his wife who were sitting nearby] Do I tell him how to act? No.'

When Kyrgios lost the match, he shook hands with Nadal before smashing his racket into the court - forcing a ball boy to duck for cover. 

He later apologised on Twitter and Stiller replied to that post, prompting Kyrgios to ask for a role in a Hollywood movie. 

Stiller replied: 'Great match today.'

Kyrgios responded on Sunday, writing: 'Thanks. Maybe we can start working on the next film together, I think I got some acting in me. How is your tennis?'

Stiller replied on Monday morning. 'I could use some help with my serve but maybe a new doubles team? We can discuss it on set …' 

'Done,' Kyrgios concluded.

Great match today.

Thanks
