Brisbane International: Djokovic, Kyrgios relishing partnership in doubles
The HinduNovak Djokovic said teaming up with Nick Kyrgios in the Brisbane International was going to be a fun experience as the 24-time Grand Slam winner arrived in the city on Saturday ahead of the Australian Open tune-up tournament. “It’s going to be fun,” said Djokovic, who is using the tournament to gear up for a tilt at a record-extending 11th Australian Open trophy. We’ve got the first chance right away in the first week of the season.” Kyrgios, who has played only one singles tour match in the last two years due to knee, foot and wrist injuries, joked that it was only natural for the 37-year-old Djokovic to be excited about their partnership. Because that’s what tennis is about, having two great personalities and trying to have some fun out there.” The Brisbane event main draw will run from Sunday to January 5 before the Australian Open begins on January 12.
