With the win in hand, Nick Kyrgios became the first player outside the top 100 to beat a world number one since Andrei Olhovsky versus Jim Courier in the year 1992.
Since the win, the Australian has brought in a sponsorship flood ranging from car companies, watch companies and drinks company. However, the youngster isn't ready to cash in anything yet.
According to John Morris (Kyrgios' manager), "we are not interested in short-term gimmicks, we are looking for partnerships with people to come on board and be part of Nick Kyrgios brand and the Nick Kyrgios journey that's why we are being very selective in a sense of who we partner with and who we bring into that team."
Also, with a stunning win in the pocket, Nick Kyrgios has also gained some new fans. People who watch the match took to twitter to congratulate Nick including fellow countryman and actor Hugh Jackman.
