The two tennis stars were dubbed "Nickarenka" by fans after they started flirting over social media earlier this month.
It all began two weeks ago when Azarenka, 25, somewhat cryptically tweeted "That Aussie accent is just sexy", to which Kyrgios, 19, responded "that Belarusian accent is just as sexy", adding some 'cheeky' emoticons.
When the Twittersphere quickly started referring to the pair as Nickarenka (amid suggestions they "get a room"), Azarenka replied "Oh my goodness, that is like a doubles team name".
It seems that idea has been stewing for the Belarusian, who on Wednesday night confirmed she was considering entering the mixed doubles at the Australian Open in January - but that she needed to find a partner.
Kyrgios, Bonds newest underwear model, didn't miss his opportunity to suggest pairing up with the beauty.
Talk soon turned to a wild card for the pair for the Open, something Kyrgios obviously knows would be a promoters dream.
Azarenka, whose relationship with X Factor judge and LMFAO singer Redfoo ended months ago, posted a photo on Instagram four hours later.
"I love people with sense of humor! Today i used lol more times in text than in my entire adult life," she captioned the picture.
Has there been some offline chat between the pair?
