The 2013 Wimbledon Boys Doubles Champions are back!
Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis took to court 3 at Melbourne Park for their doubles match against Lloyd Harris and Julian Knowle.
As Kyrgios walked into the empty court, he gave a “shoutout to the Holiday Inn worker” and waved to the non-exisiting crowd.
Covid-19 news: As of today the whole state of Victoria is in a hard five-day Covid-19 lockdown. This means that no fans are able to attend matches.
It definitely would have felt very different for Kyrgios, especially after his game last night which was watched by 1.8 million people.
