“Definitely. We’ve actually been talking about it a lot. I’ve actually asked her like three or four times. She shuts down every time. I think it’s because she goes deep in singles. I don’t really want to hamper her performance at all. But if she’s willing to play, I’ll definitely play. She’s amazingly talented. I think we could do well. I think we’d have a lot of fun.”

We’ll be lying of we say that the prospect of Kyrgios and Navarro teaming up is not exciting. With the buckets of energy that characterizes both their games, the sheer intensity on the court will make for an interesting watch.

Considering that Navarro is in the final stages of her career, it will also serve as a fair sendoff for the Spanish star.
