Ahead of his return to competitive tennis for the first time in over a year, Australian Nick Kyrgios has appeared to make an interesting announcement to team up with Novak Djokovic for doubles at the Brisbane International.
Kyrgios, who has been out of action for a good part of two years, shared an image with Djokovic on his instagram and wrote: “Doubles at Brisbane. See y’all there.”
Kyrgios’ comeback ATP Tour 2025 season will begin with the Brisbane International in the last week of December. In a bid to extend his record 10 titles at the Australian Open, Djokovic has also listed himself for the singles competition in Brisbane.
While the Australian and Serb hadn’t gotten along all too well in the initial years, the pair have turned around their relationship over the years. Despite his wavering returns on the court, Kyrgios enjoys a positive head-to-head against Djokovic, leading the Serb 2-1 in singles meetings.
Kyrgios won their first two matchups in 2017 but lost the 2022 Wimbledon final to Djokovic.
