In his pre-tournament media conference, Kyrgios joked about how the doubles pairing came about: “He kept sending me messages. I just wanted to give him a little alms and give him the pleasure of playing doubles with me,” Kyrgios said with a smile.

“It will be a lot of fun. See that a kid from Canberra gets to play in front of the fans with the greatest of all time in his hometown, that’s something really special. At the end I can tell people that I played doubles with him. It’s very special.”

Kyrgios has not played an ATP Tour tournament for more than 18 months. Djokovic has not played a tour match since his loss to Jannik Sinner in the final of the Rolex Shanghai Masters in early October. The 29-year-old has a career dual record of 68-56 and has won four titles.

He has a career doubles record of 64-80, according to the Infosys ATP Win-Loss Index.

Kyrgios, who leads Djokovic 2-1 in the Lexus ATP Head2Head singles rivalry, most recently played doubles at the 2022 Nitto ATP Finals with compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis, with whom he won the 2022 Australian Open doubles title. Kyrgios has a doubles record of 68-56 and four doubles titles.
