Nick Kyrgios and Jack Sock might be teaming up for the US Open and that would be quite an interesting pairing at the event.
Kyrgios has been out of the competition for much of this year and his return didn't really look all that great . Even so, many are excited about Kyrgios being back and his good mate Jack Sock is among them.
