MELBOURNE, Australia – The “Special K”s – Kokkinakis and Kyrgios – whose bodies will not allow for singles, tried to make magic happen again in doubles and start on Thursday. They couldn’t quite do it against less-accomplished countrymen.
Also starting is the mixed doubles, with no especially dramatic pairings other than Leylah Fernandez is playing with Kyrgios.
And Vera Zvonareva is back – in both women’s doubles and mixed. She went 1-1 on the day.
(Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of ET)
