:The"Special Ks" show at the Australian Open ended on a high after Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis claimed their first major title by defeating compatriots Max Purcell and Matt Ebden in the men's doubles final on Saturday.
They are the first wildcard team to win the Australian Open men's doubles title in the professional era. "Nick, I love you brother. Man, I can honestly say we did not expect to even come close to this, but with the help of you guys all week, it was unbelievable. The coverage we got and the support for us, we could not ask for anything more."
The duo took a 4-3 lead in the second set after breaking to love before they had a match point denied by their opponents at 5-4.
