Australia's Nick Kyrgios has won the Australian Open junior booys event in Melbourne on Saturday. The 17 year old beat countryman and good friend Thanasi Kokkinakis 7-6(4) 6-3 on Australia Day. Krygios commented, "Obviously I'm really happy with that performance today, I knew that I had to play some really good tennis.
I'm pretty stoked with the last two weeks I've had winning the lead-up tournament and now the Australian Open. It was obviously a great experience being out there knowing that (Roger) Federer and (Andy) Murray were grinding it out the night before.
I thought the level of tennis out there today was really good." Kokkinakis, who also played the Hopman Cup with Venus Williams earlier this month as a last minyte replacement for John Isner, commented, "To make it through the final of junior Australian Open, which is my first ever win in a junior Grand Slam...
was a good feeling for me. That's why it was a bit of a shame especially hearing the news last night, because it's been the best month I've had in my career as a stretch.”
