Brisbane International: Djokovic, Kygrios Lose In 2nd Round
The new doubles team of Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios are out of the Brisbane International in the second round. The pair, granted a wild-card entry by tournament organizers, lost 6-2, 3-6, 10-8 Wednesday to the top-seeded team of Nikola Mektic of Croatia and New Zealander Michael Venus. A Djokovic double-fault with the duo leading 8-6 in the match tiebreak was key to the defeat as they lost the last four points of the match.
