Nick Kyrgios could not resist poking fun at Thanasi Kokkinakis after the pair’s sensational run in the Australian Open men’s doubles ended with a trophy.
The duo, dubbed the Special Ks, saw off Mathew Ebden and Max Purcells in straight sets in an all-Australian final on Saturday. During the post-match speech Kyrgios admitted that winning the Australian Open has been a dream come true for him:
"This week has been a dream come true for me. I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else. I’m super happy. I don’t even know how we’re doing this or what’s going on right now to be brutally honest.”
Kyrgios then turned to his team-mate Kokkinakis and said:
“I know this big boy’s going to be out tonight, so ladies… let’s go!"
He quickly added: "I’ve got to stop now, I’ve crossed the line."
After gathering his thoughts Kokkinakis then said:
"What a week. Nick, I love you brother. I can honestly say we did not expect to even come close to this."
