Looking forward to it! I was getting concerned that Kyrgios would lose his bottle completely towards the end but Kokkinakis seemed to keep him just simmering and under cointrol.
Very annoying that CH9 can't get their act together and use 9GO or 9Gem for a second tennis channel all day rather than reruns of coughpy american rubbish.
Not sure even Kokkinakis was having any effect on Kyrgios honestly.
I thought a complaint against Kyrgios was that he encouraged crowd noise. Pot kettle?

Last night's ABC 24 special tennis wrap up with that breathless Irish person live from Melbourne Park failed to mention them at all
I despair of journalists sometimes

Given both teams are equals I think the headline summarises the issue though.ABC does have an article which names both teams:

So glad they are still doing a Woodward and Bernstein on this caper. It will be great if they uncover the truthFollowing the initial report from the German research group called Zerforschung on Djokovi’s Serbian Covid test results more doubt has been cast on their legitimacy.
The BBC and a Serbian researcher based in the US collated data from Serbian Covid certificates issued by the same authority and found they are numbered sequentially, suggesting the numbered certificates tendered to the Australian court in his application to stay in Australia are incorrect.
