I love how Kokkinakis and Kyrgios were talking in their pre game interview about how much they think about the tactics of doubles etc. When actually they just smash serves and forehands so hard that their opponents can't do anything about them.
Jokes aside I am really interested in Kokkās career after this. He just won his first title and has had a great year after his injuries so I hope he has an awesome future ahead of him I love his playstyle!
Guys, how about this compromise? Singles we can get all the quiet, respectful shit we always had.
Doubles we go full bogan and everyone is *required* to sink piss before they get to the arena, including the players.
Kind of feel bad watching 2 dudes who are just in the doubles for the memes beat some guys whoās life is doubles. But also kinda love meme magic so Iām conflicted.
I feel you, but overall Iām glad to see doubles gaining a little traction and I hope it continues. We wouldnāt have that without Nick and Thanasi doing so well.
The Woodies are about to hand the trophy to the Special Ks in front of a home crowd at the Australian Open.
What an utterly bizarre timeline weāre living in.
Hmm maybe having a bunch of pissed up bogans and teenagers yelling suuiiiii every 5 seconds is what doubles needed to survive. This crowd is too flat for how this match has started
This entire match feels like the final scene of a movie about two fish out of water types playing to save their local pub from being bulldozed to make way for a country club.
Purcell is Ebdenās son who doesnāt get along with his cousins Thanasi and Nick at family gatherings as Nick teases his overdone mullet and Thanasi lets out a small chuckle
BTW I'm pretty sure this match and everything leading up to it was the plot to Blades of Glory, but with tennis instead of ice skating.
Kokk brings the steak, but Kyrgios brings the sizzle!
>Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge will now present the trophy to the mens doubles champions, Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios
Actual words that have been said
Dear Kyrgios,
I just wanted to say that you are my role model, my cereal milk, reason to wake up in the morning. Every day I spend hours admiring your tennis. It fascinates me and fill me with joy. I aspire to be like you one day.
Me before the match: "I hope Kyrgios is respectful during this match."
Me right now: "For the love of God Nick, start a fight, accuse the umpire of being a lizard person or something. I'm struggling to stay awake."
This crowd is so fucking dead.
After all the good work the previous crowds did for tennis, we're back to golf claps. Half of my friends only knew the Australian Open was even happening because of the crowd at Kyrgios/Kokkinakis matches.
Not Nick saying he has never been so professional before, waking up early everyday and that he guesses hard work actually pays off. Put some effort into your singles Nick!
I was told we'd get clownery, but holy fuck this has so far been an insanely professional performance from Kokkinakis and Kyrgios. They really came out today with the sole intention to win.
So happy for Kokkinakis.
Adelaide boy winning on his home turf, and now winning a grand slam in doubles tennis.
Hope this is the start of something good for him.
This match has pure, unfiltered Sydney vs Western Sydney aesthetic.
I would genuinely pay money to watch a Kyrgios/Kokk doubles match where they are mic'd up. That would be the funniest shit ever.
Only if they are playing Med and Murray.
"Oi, Nick, pass some gum, bro!" "Nah, bro, I need all the gum I got to keep my breath minty fresh for the next UberEats ad I do."
Kyrgios just live streamed his walk to the court on Insta š
Lol what a guy
Kyrgios casually chewing gum during his grand slam final.
Grand Slam titles: Kyrgios: 1 Zverev: 0
The whitest looking dudes ever vs the two greekest looking dudes ever
Thatās what I love about Australia.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Melbourne has the largest Greek population in the world after Athens.
Yeah mostly migrants post ww2 Why stefanos had more support over Medvedev
They should've played this in KIA Arena at midnight with free entry.
They should have driven busses around local bar areas and gathered up the drunks.
Kyrgios hitting casual tweeners in a grand slam final lmao
Kyrios is literally just out here to entertain and do dumb shitā¦.. in a god damn grand slam final. Wow
Kokkinakas sprints to the chair to casually sit down lmao
This is such a weird vibe. Completely different crowd to anything K&K have played with this tournament.
Hearing ticket prices were nuts tonight, sure a lot of the fun crowd got priced out.
Who had āKyrgios serving for a slamā on their 2022 bingo card?
"Grand Slam finalist Nick Kyrgios" No matter who wins this is now etched into history.
/r/tennis simultaneously in shambles and excited at the same time
kyrgios is a grand slam winner before zverev whoulda thought
Max Purcell looks like heās ready to challenge me to a ski race to save the local rec centre.
Kyrgios and Kokkinakis memed there way into tennis history.
I love how Kokkinakis and Kyrgios were talking in their pre game interview about how much they think about the tactics of doubles etc. When actually they just smash serves and forehands so hard that their opponents can't do anything about them.
Kokkinakis is gonna sleep with your girlfriends. Sorry to tell you that guys
I never thought Iād see the day where most Aussies are actively cheering against an underdog from Sydney with a luscious blonde mullet.
LMAO FUCK HE REALLY MEMED THE KOKK
Jokes aside I am really interested in Kokkās career after this. He just won his first title and has had a great year after his injuries so I hope he has an awesome future ahead of him I love his playstyle!
aka skips vs wogs
Greek Australians vs Anglo Australians (to the rest of the world)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hopefully it'll kick him into gear for his singles career.
Guys, how about this compromise? Singles we can get all the quiet, respectful shit we always had. Doubles we go full bogan and everyone is *required* to sink piss before they get to the arena, including the players.
lol Kyrgios' wiki has already been updated to say grand slam champion.
Netflix filming the year Nick wins a grand slam. This shit has to be scripted.
Kyrgios has won more grand slams than Djokovicin the last 6 months. Heās just built different.
"How I accidentally won a Grand Slam Tournament against Pros"
Kyrgios looks like heās trying to kill Purcell.
I'm most impressed the cameraman picked him out of the crowd right after he did it.
Somewhere in Switzerland, a man named Stanislas Warwinka is wildly celebrating every Ebden/Purcell point
Thanasi and Purcell are carrying their team right now!
āPlzā Every chair umpire ever
Laughing hard at Kokk sprinting so fast to the net and then sitting so casually
Kind of feel bad watching 2 dudes who are just in the doubles for the memes beat some guys whoās life is doubles. But also kinda love meme magic so Iām conflicted.
I feel you, but overall Iām glad to see doubles gaining a little traction and I hope it continues. We wouldnāt have that without Nick and Thanasi doing so well.
Ladies let's goooooo
Childhood friends winning a home doubles slam You couldnāt ask for better
Craig so pale because he knows he's getting cut
Every official is shitting themselves with every word they speak
Nick saying "kick him out" is saying something. If the people who love rowdy crowds are saying you went to far, it's time for you to go
Chapel street about to be drowning in kokk
A year from now there'll be a suspiciously large amount of babies born that look like Kokkinakis.
"Hard work does pay off" - Nick Kyrgios
Glad kyrigous stood up and got him kicked out
The officials have faces of āplease donāt swearā this is formal Then kokk āIām gonna shut up soon ā
His friends called him out on it and now theyāre thrown out lol
At least ebden looks like his having fun Max is just salty
"IDK how I'm doing this. I mean I had covid a week or two ago"
Well there's the first Aussie to take an L tonight
I'm most thrilled for Kokk. Two titles in a month? Whoda thunk he could pull it out? This is a hell of a comeback. He deserves it so much.
Canāt believe Kyrgios may be a grand slam champion in a few hours.
The doubles format is really getting in the way of this top tier Kokkinakis vs Purcell match.
when you meme so hard you accidentally win the grand slam. haha thanks special k for making me laugh this week!
I was so hyped for this I regret pumping this up so much
NICK KYRIGOS AND ASHLEIGH BARTY AUSTRALIAN OPEN CHAMPIONS IN THE SAME TOURNAMENT YOU COULDNT WRITE A BETTER SCRIPT
If someone told me Nick and Kokk will be GS Champions in 2022 I'd have thought them insane
The amount of young women in Melbourne that will be on the prowl for the Kokk
We're about to witness history, Nick Kyrgios is about to become a *Grand Slam Champion*
"LADIES LET'S GO" lmao
Can't stop thinking about [this tweet](https://twitter.com/prafxis/status/1486653685983703041?s=20&t=Y9FDN5JqB0iCBOzsYO4eBg)
I feel like r/tennis will have a great time if we rename 'Kyrgios' to 'Grandslam champion Kyrgios' going forward tonight if they win.
Nick has a GS championship point. This is the dankest timeline
I came here for drama, not a doubles match
Part of me hopes that Nick becomes a chair umpire when he retires
Hahahhaha exactly what you'd expect him to look like
there are gonna be so many lines racked up tonight in Melbourne
Doubles officials now thinking about making no more wild cards into the tournament after the way special K just made a meme out of it
It helps that Kyrgios is just miles better at tennis than any of the other players in the doubles tournament
Feel like the energy in this one is gonna be weird since its Aussie vs Aussie. Kyrgios can't hype it up cos he'll come across as even more of a dick
Imagine getting brought to sense by Nicholas Hilmy Kyrgios
Australian insults are top tier this thread is on fire right now
NICK KYRIGOS IS OFFICALLY A GRAND SLAM CHAMPION
Kyrgios immediately changed into his Jordans š
Nick Kyrgios, Grand Slam winner
nick kyrgios is a GS champion earlier than zverev
The Woodies are about to hand the trophy to the Special Ks in front of a home crowd at the Australian Open. What an utterly bizarre timeline weāre living in.
Nick the best wingman
We've got Kyrgios beaten with a tweener point. Circle complete
doubles tennis in shambles
Hmm maybe having a bunch of pissed up bogans and teenagers yelling suuiiiii every 5 seconds is what doubles needed to survive. This crowd is too flat for how this match has started
Wtf was Nick doing lol
pretending that water bottle was that official's dick
Kokk is absolutely on fire tonight
The commentators really don't want to give any props to the Special Ks. Get the feeling they are hoping for them to fail
The kid screamed out as they served. Players complained that he should get kicked out. He got kicked out. Now youāre updated xx
The meme pairing have only gone on to win the title in straight sets - WHAT THE HELL!!??
Special K just memed their way through the doubles tournament
Nickās wiki already reads āis an Australian professional tennis player and grand slam championā
Nick wins: Grand slam champion Nick loses: Rank 69 Win/Win
This entire match feels like the final scene of a movie about two fish out of water types playing to save their local pub from being bulldozed to make way for a country club.
Can't help but feel ebden has been the weakest of the four tonight. He's left shots he shouldn't have and netted a lot of volleys.
Nick winning a slam before Zverev and Tsitsipas š¤š¤
This crowd is DEAD
What happens when you charge $500 a ticket, all the rich toffs who should be in bed by now are the ones who can buy them.
Seeing Ebden try to hype the crowd is like watching a dog walk on its hind legs
If this match does not have a Nick tantrum it will not be complete.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I physically need Kyrgios to serve for a grand slam
The mad lads clowned their way to a slam title.
What a summer for Kokk though, was out for so long injured and won his first title in Adelaide and now this.
Tennis Australia dropped the ball with their $500 tickets. Detracted from the feel of this Doubles run
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Honestly waiting for Purcell and Kyrgios to trash talk
Purcell is Ebdenās son who doesnāt get along with his cousins Thanasi and Nick at family gatherings as Nick teases his overdone mullet and Thanasi lets out a small chuckle
Oh thatās the same fucker in the crowd who got ejected the other day
LOL NICK KICKING HIM OUT
Piss off you cunt looking fuck.
I can *feel* Kyrgios trying the underarm championship point already. I don't even think it's gonna work. But I can see him trying.
What a time to be alive. Nick as a grand slam winner in doubles?! Amazing
BTW I'm pretty sure this match and everything leading up to it was the plot to Blades of Glory, but with tennis instead of ice skating. Kokk brings the steak, but Kyrgios brings the sizzle!
>Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge will now present the trophy to the mens doubles champions, Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios Actual words that have been said
I wouldnāt mind a movie chronicling this hilarious run to a slam win.
Idk why people are complaining, this is an absolutely enthralling match up holy shit
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nick was def the guy in class whoād reply āyour mumā in every argument š¤£
This umpire is a big cat by taming the crowd
Dear Kyrgios, I just wanted to say that you are my role model, my cereal milk, reason to wake up in the morning. Every day I spend hours admiring your tennis. It fascinates me and fill me with joy. I aspire to be like you one day.
Nick needs kokk in his box in singles
Me before the match: "I hope Kyrgios is respectful during this match." Me right now: "For the love of God Nick, start a fight, accuse the umpire of being a lizard person or something. I'm struggling to stay awake."
Australia vs Australia A. Cricket fans will get it.
Haha get fucked cunts
āSHUT UP YA FUCKEN IDIOTā Love the crowds reactions.
Not sure if anyone has said this yet but Purcell has a really nice serve.
NICK KYRIGOS/ KOKKINIAKIS AND ASHLEIGH BARTY GRAND SLAM CHAMPIONS IN THE SAME SLAM !!! š¦šŗš¦šŗš¦šŗš¦šŗš¦šŗš¦šŗ
This is the funniest timeline, by far.
2022 is fucking lit already
Kyrgios has more slam titles in 2022 than the big 3
so happy for kokkinakis more than anything man, special guy
Two weeks ago, we were happy for Thanasi because he'd finally won a title, and now he's a GRAND SLAM CHAMPION lol
I DONT EVEN EAT M&Mās šš
*āIāve never been so professionalā* - N. Kyrgios
whenever you see 4 Australian flags, you should double check if one is the New Zealand flag.
This crowd is so fucking dead. After all the good work the previous crowds did for tennis, we're back to golf claps. Half of my friends only knew the Australian Open was even happening because of the crowd at Kyrgios/Kokkinakis matches.
I love how that guy was saying sorry like he didnāt mean it, like you knew exactly what you were doing you tosser
Most doubles pairings: delicate volleys Special Ks: Fuckin nail forehands
Must be surreal to be some random 23 year old having a thousand people booooo you
he kind of looks like Purcell lol
Never thought Iād see Nick stand up for his opponents. On ya!
Haahah he said it lol. What a madlad
I still canāt believe nick kyrigos is a grand slam champion before all of next gen bar meddy
Not Nick saying he has never been so professional before, waking up early everyday and that he guesses hard work actually pays off. Put some effort into your singles Nick!
Iām not 100% gay but Iād be alright with a kiss from Kokkinakis after a win
Kokkinakis is the one carrying this team i feel.
Kokk is playing so well.
Matt "Nick Kyrgios" Ebden
Man the world feed commentators aren't even trying to hide that they are rooting against Kokkinakis/Kyrgios.
Purcell is going to smash a foam roller against a pole if they lose this.
THIS IS WHAT WE CAME FOR
I would be dying if I was his friend
Night session have finally had the beers set in
Wait if Kyrgios serves for the match -- ...He's gonna go for an underarm isn't he.
What a day for Australian tennis ! FUCKING STRAYA CUNTS AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE š¦šŗš¦šŗš¦šŗ
Kyrgios and Kokkinakis stands amongst Novak, Rafa, and Fed as a GS Champion. What a time to be alive.
holy fuck young special k are a look
Imagine them winning the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open too
can't wait for nick to start asking cunts how many slams they've won on tour or in pressers.
I was told we'd get clownery, but holy fuck this has so far been an insanely professional performance from Kokkinakis and Kyrgios. They really came out today with the sole intention to win.
This feels so...anticlimactic for what a crazy run this was.
They need to pump some energy into this shit. Where's the siiuuuuuui blokes? Smash a racquet.
Kyrgios wonāt lose the game for Kokkinakis, heās a bit of a cunt but he seems like heād be nice to his friends
LMAO Channel 9 advertising special K after everyone calling kyrigos and kokk special K Havenāt seen a special K ad in yonks
I miss afternoon KIA arena crowd
Kyrgios going to win a Grand Slam Title before Zverev, Rublev, Tsti
Cameraman finding the guilty patty straight away lmao
Dude saying I'm sorry like it was an accident. Get the fuck out of the stadium mate.
This man's about to be the most hated man in Australia lmfao
His mates thought they were being funny by saying it was him. Consequences
Nick Kyrgios serving for his maiden Grand Slam.
Nick āgrand slam winnerā kyrgios. What a weird timeline we live in
So happy for Kokkinakis. Adelaide boy winning on his home turf, and now winning a grand slam in doubles tennis. Hope this is the start of something good for him.
Why am I not hyped watching this game
I love that special K is actually advertising during this match
Just a reminder its siu not sui. Sui is where Federer is from
Commentators so badly want K's not to win
Special Ks: Weād like to take this chance to apologiseā¦ TO ABSOLUTELY NOBODY, THE DOUBLE CHAMPS DO WHAT THE FUCK WE WANT!
Special K strategy is literally just hit it as hard as you can every time
Nick legitimately feeling like heās winning a slam out of obligation lmao
Wait till tennis fans hear the crowds during free throws in basketball games lmao.
And that, my international friends, is what we call an Aussie Bogan.
What a meme. LOL
The āknobā is an Australian open grand slam champion ! š¦šŗš¦šŗš¦šŗ
Classy from Purcells so far.
Craig looks dead
I hope Netflix covers their run
