Australians filled the Melbourne Taman Taman Stadium field with 5,000 fans for the second round clash because high-profile single-profile matches took place around them.
The singing of fans “Siu”, who had annoyed Danil Medvedev and Andy Murray before in the tournament, rang from the terrace throughout 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 over 6-4 over Ariel Behar and Gonzalo Escobar.
With a strong crowd behind the house’s duo, however, it was translated back music amid the roar of approval.
Kyrgios and Kokkinakis, nicknamed “Special KS” as a junior, disappointed the top double pair on Friday, and then said members of their opponents threatened them in the player’s gym in Melbourne Park.
Asked whether they felt they had added a new dimension to double, Kyrgios at first answered with a little sarcasm.
“We bring the game to a new level.
Not only in the double field,” he told reporters.
“I see TV rating up 45 percent, friend.
Let’s be honest.
We need this for sports.” The 26-year-old is expanded by saying tennis has done a bad job to promote sports with “really just marketing three players for the past decade “.
The players were Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer, who were all defeated by Kyrgios.

People do it differently,” he added.
Kyrgios and Kokkinakis, who met at the Australia Open Australia final final singles in 2013, believed they could win a double crown as a partnership.
But not everyone has been happy with their success in the tournament.
After defeating the Pavic Olympic champion and Nikola Mektic in the first round, a fitness trainer for the first to express his anger.
“It was a pavic fitness coach who came and he destroyed a foam roller to a pole and I thought he was joking,” Kokkinakis said.
“They said we used it.
I thought, in the end, they were rather salty so they lost.
It was rather aggressive on his side.”
