In a thrilling comeback from injury, Nick Kyrgios teamed up with Novak Djokovic for an exciting doubles victory at the Brisbane International on Monday.

The match showcased not only Kyrgios’s resilience but also the impact of retired Scottish tennis legend Andy Murray, who has been coaching Djokovic over the past few months in preparation for the 2025 Australian Open.

Kyrgios and Djokovic triumphed over Austria’s Alexander Erler and Germany’s Andreas Mies with a score of 6-4, 6-7 (4), 10-8.

Kyrgios had recently indicated he still had “fire in his belly” ahead of his first match back, and displayed exactly that as he clinched the win with a powerful ace, signalling his return to competitive form.
