Nick Kyrgios live streamed his entrance and exited with an Instagram post. The latter was a video of himself and Thanasi Kokkinakis strolling back down the tunnel with their trophy in hand and a “WINNNNERS BABYYYYY!!!!!!!” caption. Rod Laver Arena has never seen winners like these before.
Tennis in general would be hard-pressed to find a pair. Last week the Special Ks were wildcards with no expectations about results. On Saturday they became the first all-Australian partnership to win at Melbourne Park since the Woodies – Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge – in 1997.
