Nick Kyrgios, Australian Open and Thanasi Kokkinakis
Doubles tennis rarely receives much attention in the first week of a grand slam, but that's not the case at this year's Australian Open. Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios are set to team up at the AO for the first time since taking out the men's doubles in 2022.
Nick Kyrgios has fuelled further discussion about the future of his tennis career as he said that he was "weighing up his options".
The apologetic Aussie was plainly ‘shattered’ to tell his great mate Nick Kyrgios it was all over. Thanasi Kokkinakis’ dream of repeating his stunning Australian Open doubles success with Nick Kyrgios has been dashed by his debilitating pectoral muscle injury.
Kokkinakis was hampered by a long-standing pectoral injury as he went down 7-6 (7-3) 3-6 6-3 5-7 3-6 to Jack Draper in a four-hour-and-35-minute heartbreaker. Speaking after the match, Kokkinakis said he wouldn't even be able to lift his right arm to serve on Thursday night.
Kokkinakis has been struggling with a pectoral injury for some time, and was forced to withdraw from the Adelaide International last week. He managed to win his first-round singles match at the Australian Open, before suffering a heartbreaking five-set loss in the second round.
Aleksandar Vukic lost the match but won admirers around the world after playing "some of the best tennis you will see."
Thanasi Kokkinakis didn't have great news after retiring injured from his Australian Open men's doubles clash with Nick Kyrgios, revealing that he will need "a serious surgical procedure" after going against the doctors and going out to the court.
