The 2025 tennis season is off to an electrifying start as Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios prepare to team up in doubles at the Brisbane International. This surprising announcement has fans buzzing, as the duo promises to bring star power and intrigue to the Australian swing.
Kyrgios, returning from an 18-month hiatus due to injury, shared the news on Instagram with the caption, “Doubles at Brisbane. See y’all there.” For the Australian, this marks his first competitive tournament since June 2023 and his first Grand Slam appearance since the 2022 US Open. Meanwhile, Djokovic, fresh from his Olympic gold triumph, is gearing up for a historic 2025 season as he chases his 100th career singles title and aims to become the outright record-holder for most Grand Slam victories.
The pairing, once deemed improbable due to past tensions, highlights a dramatic shift in their relationship. Djokovic and Kyrgios famously clashed during the 2022 Wimbledon final, with Djokovic prevailing in four sets. Despite their heated rivalry, the two have grown closer, exchanging compliments on social media and even collaborating on Kyrgios’ podcast.
The Brisbane International, running from December 29, 2024, to January 5, 2025, offers a thrilling preview of the Australian Open. Both players are expected to use this event to fine-tune their games. Adding to the excitement, Andy Murray, Djokovic’s new coach, will be in their corner, making this an unmissable tennis spectacle.
Fans can expect fireworks as the charismatic Kyrgios and the legendary Djokovic bring their skills and chemistry to the doubles court. Get your popcorn and cool drinks ready—Brisbane is set to host a tennis partnership for the ages!
