The High-Flying Duo’s Perfect Start

On December 16th, Djokovic and Kyrgios, who are known for their famous bromance, announced they would team up for doubles at the Brisbane International. Their opening match lived up to expectations, with the duo delivering an exciting performance to beat Alexander Erler and Andreas Mies 6-4, 6-7(4), 10-8.

Djokovic shared a post on Instagram featuring two pictures: one showing the pair’s ecstatic chest bump and the other capturing their heartfelt embrace after the win. The 24-time Grand Slam champion captioned the post:
“Good trouble. Nice start. Idemooo @k1ngkyrg1os… ”

Jelena Djokovic’s Reaction

Jelena, who has always been one of Novak’s biggest supporters, couldn’t hide her excitement. She reacted to the post with a simple but powerful message:
“Yeyyy”

Jelena has been by her husband’s side throughout his career, often traveling with him and cheering him on at his matches.

Djokovic Reflects on His Doubles Partnership with Kyrgios

After the match, Novak Djokovic shared his thoughts on partnering with Nick Kyrgios. Kyrgios had previously joked about it being a “pleasure” for Djokovic to play alongside him. In response, Djokovic expressed his appreciation for Kyrgios’ support during the match:
“I want to thank Nick for playing. He said the other day it should be a pleasure to play with him. And it is. It is a pleasure,” Djokovic said.

The 37-year-old also admitted that he needed Kyrgios’ guidance during the match since he hadn’t played many doubles matches in recent years.
“I’m glad to share the court with him on his comeback. I haven’t played many doubles matches in the last 5 years. Whatever Nick was saying I was following, actually,” Djokovic added.

Looking Ahead: The Next Challenge

The Serbian-Australian duo will face top seeds Nikola Metkic and Michael Venus in the second round. Djokovic, the top seed in singles, will kick off his campaign against home favorite Rinky Hijikata in their first-ever meeting. Meanwhile, Kyrgios will take on Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. If both men win their opening matches, they could meet in the semifinals.

Their partnership is already proving to be a major draw for fans, and expectations are high as they look to make a deep run at the 2025 Brisbane International.
