Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic are eliminated in doubles in the second round of the ATP 250 in Brisbane by the pair of Nikola Mektic and Michael Venus. It ends 6-2 3-6 10-8, with an exchange that is already among the candidates for the point of the year: the two specialists win at the end of an infinite series of shots, including two tweeners in a row from the Australian. For Kyrgios, returning after a year and a half and very critical of the management of Sinner’s doping case, it is the second defeat in two days after the one he suffered in singles against Mpetshi Perricard.
