After attracting hoards of fans both on the court and on TV, Kyrgios also said he was hoping to boost the sport with his entertaining doubles matches.
“I think this Australian Open I think with everything the people have gone through, they just are just so happy to see Aussies have success. Demon in the fourth round, us kind of carrying the flag in doubles a little bit,” he said, speaking on the home crowd.
“This Aus Open, honestly, I think for us it’s more about the people, playing for them is more important than our doubles success. We haven’t drawn up any goals of what we want to achieve this year in doubles.
“I just want to play and give the people of Australia and the Australian Open a show and genuinely try and grow the sport of tennis. That’s why I’m playing. I know Thanasi is just enjoying it. This is the most fun we’ve ever had on the court.”
