Nick Kyrgios' best mate smashes racket after Miami Open clash ... (Daily Express)

Australian tennis star Thanasi Kokkinakis is gaining something of a reputation for smashing his racquet - win or lose.

Fans will hope the Australian at least brought a surplus of racquets with him to the United States. The meeting in Miami will be the first time he and Kokkinakis have faced off in any ATP tournament. The win was all the more valuable for Kokkinakis considering he entered the Miami Open draw as a lucky loser. "I've been feeling happy on court the past couple of weeks and made a pact with myself to at least compete, no matter how I'm feeling," he told reporters after the win.

Kokkinakis proceeded to lay into the surface with one savage swipe of his racquet, clearly content with his comeback performance.
