Australia, 13 December 2022 | Leigh Rogers
Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios have been voted the Fans’ Favourite doubles team in the 2022 ATP Awards.
The Special K’s, as they are known to fans, won two doubles titles together in 2022, including their first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open.
They amassed 19 wins from the eight tournaments they contested this year, which helped them qualify for the elite season-ending ATP Finals for the first time.
“Just wanted to say a massive thank you for voting us, me and Nick, as your fans’ favourite ATP Doubles Team of the year,” said Kokkinakis.
“It’s been a hell of a year, winning our first Grand Slam on home soil in Australia. Crazy atmosphere down there, the support we’ve gotten all year has been amazing.
“Thanks again and hopefully we can keep it rolling. We’ll see you all in January. Thank you!”
