Talented Australian and Nick Kyrgios's doubles partner known for his big serve and potential.
Thanasi Kokkinakis was born on 10 April 1996 in Adelaide, Australia, to Greek parents. He turned professional in 2014 and was regarded as one of the game's brightest prospects before suffering persistent shoulder and other injuries that derailed his career during key developmental years. He is best known for winning the 2022 Australian Open doubles title alongside Nick Kyrgios, a partnership that delighted home crowds. As a singles player, Kokkinakis has shown flashes of top-level ability with his powerful serve and aggressive game but has struggled with consistency due to his injury history.
