Love or loathe them, Nick Kyrgios and Thanis Kokkinakis have put doubles tennis on the map. Their brash, clownish style has worked the Melbourne crowd into riotous states and it’s going to be a wild Saturday night at the Rod Laver Arena as they face fellow Aussies Max Purcell and Matt Ebden. Here’s how to get a Kyrgios & Kokkinakis vs Purcell & Ebdon live stream wherever you are – including ways to watch Australian Open tennis absolutely FREE.
It’s the first all-Aussie men’s doubles final since 1980 and, to get here, these teams have had to beat a seeded pair at every stage of the tournament from the second round onwards, most notably top seeds Nikola Mektić and Mate Pavić, who fell to Kyrgios and Kokkinakis early on, and No.2 seeds Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury, who Purcell and Ebden beat in straight sets in the semis.
Purcell has been in Kyrgios’ and Kokkinakis’ shoes before, reaching the Aussie Open final as a wildcard two years ago, while Ebden lifted the mixed doubles title here in 2013.
The Aussie crowd will doubtless be delighted at a guaranteed win but you’d be brave to bet against Kyrgios with that wall of noise at his back. This is going to be box office. Watch all the drama unfold by following a Kyrgios & Kokkinakis vs Purcell & Ebdon live stream at the Australian Open 2022.
