Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis were on the ropes but they had a stunning comeback in the final set to win it 3-6 6-4 10-6.
It was an elimination match as both teams lost their previous matches making this one essential for both. Kyrgios and Kokkinakis were slightly favoured in this one but it was not a good start. They dropped the serve on their first try and Dodig and Krajicek simply cruised to a 6-3 finish.
The Aussies bounced back in good form taking their service games fairly comfortably and not allowing many chances to their opponents. It was a very good doubles match with Dodig and Krajicek only allowing one slight chance at the end of the second set.
It was a deuce and the deciding point with the Aussie getting it to snatch the second set 6-4. We had the match tiebreak coming and it was a horror start for the Australians. A 5-1 lead for Dodig and Krajicek but then we saw magic.
Kyrgios and Kokkinakis battled back to 5-4 with Krajicek double-faulting for 5-5. The crowd erupted with Kyrgios playing into it and he was amazing down the stretch. A winner by Kokkinakis, another one by Kyrgios and then an ace by Nick to close it out 10-6. What a finish.
