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'"

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
