Kyrgios and Kokkinakis will follow in prime time in the US, hitting world tennis’s biggest stage under New York’s bright lights around 9pm .“So it will be pretty nuts. It’s crazy to just look at the court and see how big it is. It’s a different feeling, that’s for sure,” Kokkinakis told AAP after a practice session at Flushing Meadows on Friday.
Win or lose, Kyrgios and Kokkinakis will return to Flushing Meadows to team up once again in the doubles, chasing a fourth title of an-already triumphant season together. Aussies Alex de Minaur and Ajla Tomljanovic, plus Daria Saville, Jordan Thompson and John Millman are also in action.
