Despite a promising lead, Kyrgios and Djokovic were defeated by top seeds Mektic and Venus at the Brisbane International.
Kyrgios and Djokovic 's doubles partnership came to an abrupt end at the Brisbane International. Despite leading 8-6 in the first-to-ten match tie-break, Djokovic committed a double fault, shifting the momentum in favor of Mektic and Venus . The top seeds capitalized on the error, winning every point thereafter to advance to the quarter-finals. This follows a pattern of Kyrgios ' doubles success, as he and fellow Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis won the Australian Open men's doubles title in 2022.
The match had the potential for tension given Kyrgios' history of on-court incidents. However, the pairing with Djokovic seemed to bring out a different side of Kyrgios, characterized by good humor and sportsmanship. While flashes of his signature 'tweener' shots remained, any frustrations were kept in check
