Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis' Australian Open run has come to an end through retirement and it also didn't go without a bit of drama. On Thursday, the 2022 Australian Open winners made their return as a pair to Melbourne Park for the first time in three years.

Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis retired from their opening men's doubles match at the Australian Open against James Duckworth and Aleksandar Vukic.

Nick Kyrgios raged at an Australian Open umpire after his doubles partner Thanasi Kokkinakis was given a code violation for hitting the ball out of play.

The brash words of Nick Kyrgios came back to haunt him in the first round of the Australian Open as he was beaten in straight sets by Britain’s Jacob Fearnley. Playing his first match at Melbourne Park since 2022 after an injury-plagued two years, the 29-year-old was outclassed by the Scot who prevailed 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 7-6 (7-2).

Nick Kyrgios has fuelled further discussion about the future of his tennis career as he said that he was "weighing up his options".

The apologetic Aussie was plainly ‘shattered’ to tell his great mate Nick Kyrgios it was all over. Thanasi Kokkinakis’ dream of repeating his stunning Australian Open doubles success with Nick Kyrgios has been dashed by his debilitating pectoral muscle injury.

Kokkinakis has been struggling with a pectoral injury for some time, and was forced to withdraw from the Adelaide International last week. He managed to win his first-round singles match at the Australian Open, before suffering a heartbreaking five-set loss in the second round.

Both Kyrgios (strained abdominal muscle) and Kokkinakis (right shoulder trouble) came into the match dealing with physical issues.
