“My Brother”: Nick Kyrgios Posts Heartfelt Message For Jack Sock on the Latter’s Return to Tennis

Maverick Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios shared a post on the return of his good friend and fellow competitor Jack Sock from an extended injury-enforced break.

Taking to his Instagram page, Kyrgios posted that he is delighted for the American and can’t wait to pair up with him on a tennis court again. “@jack.sock my brother, will be an absolute pleasure being on court with you again,” the Canberra-born Australian posted on his Instagram stories.

Nick Kyrgios and Jack Sock are a hit doubles pair at Laver Cup

Kyrgios and Sock paired up for doubles clashes at Laver Cup, giving their fans a treat in the form of exemplary teamwork, bonding, and victories.

A familiar face for Team World at the Laver Cup, the Australian does bond well with the Americans in the contingent but it’s the equations that he shares with Sock that extends to a hugely successful doubles partnership.

Making an immediate impression on his return to action after missing a season of tennis on account of frustrating injury episodes, Sock won a Challenger event at Little Rock, Arkansas. The 28-year-old American beat Ecuadorian Emilio Gomez in straight sets to lift the championship trophy.

After a third-round finish at his next Challenger event in Orlando, Sock reached the quarterfinals of the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships in New Port, US, fighting past Australian Alex Bolt in the tournament opener and pummeling Yoshihito Nishioka of Japan in his next.

However, just when it seemed like a Tour event win on comeback was well within his sights, the American bowed out in the last eight after losing in three sets against veteran South African and former World No. 5 Kevin Anderson.

However, his run at the event indicates steady progress since his return and bodes well ahead of the US Open.

Once ranked as high as eighth in singles by the ATP, Sock tore two ligaments in his right thumb while catching a medicine ball that rolled his way in 2019, and, combined with a bad back, was out of action for a full tennis season.
