Young Wimbledon star splits opinion with cheeky 'tweener' serve to win match

Young star Kalin Ivanovski has divided opinion by imitating the likes of Nick Kyrgios and Andy Murray by pulling off a stunning tweener ace to win his boys’ singles second round match at Wimbledon.

The 18-year-old finished his match with Mexico’s Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez in style to book his place in the third round with a 6-1 6-2 victory. On match point, Ivanovski showed off his confidence by nailing an audacious tweener underarm serve which Australian star Kyrgios would have been proud of.

The move caught both Pacheco Mendez off guard as well as the crowd, but the Macedonian held up his fist as he gestured to the crowd in delight. He then shook hands with the Mexican 11th seed at the net and will face eighth seed Edas Butvilas in the third round.
