MELBOURNE : The"Special K's" circus rolled on in the Australian Open doubles on Sunday, and according to ring-leader Nick Kyrgios and fellow showman Thanasi Kokkinakis, tennis should take note.
The fans' chanting of"Siu", which had irritated Daniil Medvedev and Andy Murray earlier in the tournament, rang from the terraces throughout their 6-4 4-6 6-4 win over Ariel Behar and Gonzalo Escobar. Kyrgios and Kokkinakis, nicknamed the"Special Ks" as juniors, upset the top doubles pair on Friday, and later said a member of their opponents' entourage threatened them in the players' gym at Melbourne Park.
The 26-year-old expanded by saying tennis had done a poor job of promoting the sport by"really only marketing three players for the last decade"."Tennis has really struggled to embrace different personalities. People go about it differently," he added.
