Kyrgios and Djokovic's Narrow Defeat at Brisbane International

"Witness the incredible resilience of Kyrgios in a nail-biting doubles match!"

Kyrgios' Comeback
Nick Kyrgios shrugged off the pain in his surgically repaired wrist as his Brisbane International comeback ended in a tight doubles loss.

The Match
Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic lost 6-2, 3-6, 10-8 to Michael Venus and Nikola Mektic in the second-round men's doubles.

Performance Despite Pain
Despite the pain, Kyrgios hit serves upwards of 200km/h and showed agility and reflexes that belied his long absence from tour-level tennis.

Key Moments
A Djokovic double fault at 8-6 was disastrous as the duo lost the last four points of the match tie-break.

Future Plans
Kyrgios is keen to return to Canberra to rest before contemplating a Melbourne Park assault.

"Will Kyrgios make a full comeback? Only time will tell!"
