Barty and the Special Ks triumph at the Australian Open

By Andris Heks - posted Tuesday, 1 February 2022


And it was no one else but the two Woodies who presented the championship trophy to the special Ks.

To me the most beautiful thing about the special Ks' brilliant victory was the tremendous warmth of their friendship.

With a close mate like Kokkinakis maybe even Kyrgios has a chance for eventually overcoming his tendency to spit the dummy when things do not go his way.

The level-headed, solid groundedness of Kokkinakis and Kyrgios' extraordinary tennis creativity make for a powerful doubles combination.

It might have even contributed to bringing the two Woodies together for the trophy presentation after years of distance between the two, following their split as the world's most successful tennis doubles players.

Beyond their great victories, both Barty and the special Ks emphasised the importance to them that they take away from the occasion a further cementing of friendships and sweet memories of shared celebrations with their fellow Aussies.
