Kokkinakis serves, returns and passing shots were on point the whole tournament. I really think he was the most decisive player. Moreover, kyrgios' serve makes thinks lot easier too.

[@ignaciosuarez9948]

Kyrgios is more clutch but Kokk is more regular in all senses

[@themenacingbeast5437]

Kokk is the guy you want for consistency & discipline on your team. And Kyr is more the entertainer and serviceman.

@@TheBloggme how many players on the singles tour can say they have beaten Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, and are GS doubles champs?

[@adamuoldvids7052]

@John Brower because Nadal or Federer have never done a doubles match before…oh wait

[@henrytrembath1772]

If Nick switched focus entirely from singles to doubles, and won it than yeah I could possibly agree with your argument. That is not the case. Nick is still focused on the singles draw - he lost to finalist Medvedev. Plenty of men’s singles players join doubles as wildcards for a bit of fun, and get knocked out in the second round. They’re the first wildcards to win the AO men’s doubles title. Do not understate this achievement.

[@henrysanji3989]

@John Brower Fognini was in this tournament, why didn’t he make the final? Clown

[@hello-mv6yg]

Kyrgios should stick to doubles. He seems to play better when he has the realization that he can't let his teammate down, like in the Laver Cup.

[@t-bone7988]

singles just hit different tho.

[@robfredericks2984]

I think Kyrgios is more suited for doubles than singles. In singles, he lets his emotions ruin his focus and goes off the deep end, when it is clear he has talent to beat some of the top 10 players at times. Maybe because Kokkinakis has been his long-time best friend, Kyrgios stayed focused on tennis. Kokkinakis provides that emotional rational balance.

[@druidinary]

Agreed. I hope they stick with this. Special K could definitely be the new Woodies.

Well guys, Nick is officially a grandslam CHAMPION. He just proved himself to ever person out there. It makes sense that his first would be a doubles title as well, it's what he enjoys and what he's best at. And to do it with his lifelong best friend must be sureal! I'm actually really happy for him. He came and did this when almost everyone in the tennis world gave up on him. Congrats Nick and Thanasi, you deserve it! And for Barty to win her match aswell, this is Truly a historic day for Australian tennis!
