Nick Kyrgios won the Kids' Choice Sports award for Hardest Hitter, Nickelodeon Australia announced on Monday.

Although his ranking has dropped eight spots in 2017, it's hard to argue that Kyrgios isn't the hardest hitter, at least in his home country. After all, his second serve averaged 113 mph this year.

His forehand winners are so fast that he sometimes has to stop the match to high-five the front row of the crowd.

His backhand does some damage as well.

In the American version of the awards, which were held in July, Serena Williams won Queen of Swag and Best Cannon, beating out nominees Caroline Wozniacki and Andy Murray, respectively.
