The Australian duo of Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis added a feather to their caps as they were named the Fans’ Favorite doubles team of 2022 as per the ATP.
Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis forged a formidable team and have been a force to reckon with in the doubles circuit on the ATP Tour. Kyrgios and Kokkinakis also play in the singles circuit but the former has achieved more success so far.
The duo began the year with a bang winning the men’s doubles event at the Australian Open by defeating fellow Australians Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell in a one-sided final. Later in the year, Kyrgios and Kokkinakis made their debut in the ATP Finals in Turin and competed in the doubles event. They achieved considerable success throughout the year and the long-time friends will be thrilled to be named the Fans’ Favorite doubles team in the 2022 ATP Awards.
Kokkinakis expressed his gratitude via a video for the fans who voted for him and Kyrgios. He hoped that they would be able to continue their good form when they return to court for the new season that begins in January.
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for voting us, me and Nick, as your fans’ favorite ATP Doubles Team of the Year,” said Kokkinakis. “It’s been a hell of a year, winning our first Grand Slam on home soil in Australia. Crazy atmosphere down there, the support we’ve gotten all year has been amazing. Thanks again and hopefully we can keep it rolling. We’ll see you all in January. Thank you!”
