Thanasi Kokkinakis' story not only from returning from injury to win an ATP title again but also claiming Grand Slam glory alongside Nick Kyrgios has been one of the best in 2022.
Kokkinakis and Kyrgios relationship goes back a long way and he detailed how he knew from their first meeting that they would become friends.
"I saw a big chubby kid just nailing the ball," Kokkinakis said in his interview on ABC's 7.30.
"I had just come from Adelaide and won my regional event there. "Saw the big man playing, saw his dad, decked out in Jordan gear, and I thought, 'I'm probably going to be mates with this dude'"
