Thanasi Kokkinakis
Athanasios "Thanasi" Kokkinakis (born 10 April 1996) is an Australian professional tennis player. He has been ranked as high as world No. 65 in singles by the ATP, achieved on 6 November 2023. He also has a career-high doubles ranking of No. 15 attained on 21 November 2022 after winning the 2022 Australian Open and reaching the semifinals of the 2022 Miami Open with countryman Nick Kyrgios.
Kokkinakis has also won one ATP Tour title in singles and produced his best Major singles performance by reaching the third rounds at the 2015, 2023, and 2024 French Open.
As a junior, Kokkinakis was ranked as high as No. 10 in the world. He won one junior Grand Slam title, the doubles title at the 2013 Wimbledon Championships with partner Nick Kyrgios, and was the runner-up in two additional junior Grand Slam singles finals that same year. As a professional, Kokkinakis broke into the top 100 for the first time in 2015, during which he won one title on the ATP Challenger Tour and made the fourth round of an ATP Masters 1000 tournament for the first time at the 2015 Indian Wells Masters. After an injury-plagued 2016, he reached his first two ATP Tour finals the next year, when he won the 2017 Brisbane International doubles title with Jordan Thompson but lost at the 2017 Los Cabos Open in singles to Sam Querrey. In 2018, Kokkinakis won two additional Challenger titles and ended the year having re-entered the top 150. However, over the next two years, further injuries prevented him from regularly competing on the professional circuit, but he made his return in 2021 and he reached two Challenger finals, of which he won one. He continued his comeback in 2022 and appeared in his first ATP Tour final in five years at the 2022 Adelaide International 2, in which he prevailed in front of a home-town audience to secure his maiden ATP Tour singles title. He then won the Australian Open doubles title partnering Kyrgios, and the pair competed in the year-end championships.
Kokkinakis was born in Adelaide to Greek immigrant parents, Trevor (Tryfon) from Perivolia Messinia and Voula (Paraskevi) from Panagali Arcadia. He attended Scotch College throughout his upbringing in Adelaide. While competing on tour for his home country of Australia, Kokkinakis also holds Greek citizenship. His tennis idols growing up were Marat Safin and Roger Federer.
In 2023, Kokkinakis was dating Melbourne influencer Hannah dal Sasso.
He is close friends with Nick Kyrgios, with whom he won the 2022 Australian Open doubles title. The pair also competed at the US Open[clarification needed] and at the 2022 ATP Finals.
Kokkinakis made his media debut as a commentator on the Australian broadcast of the French Open in May 2025.
As a junior, Kokkinakis had a breakthrough when in March 2008 he won the 12 year old National Lawn Tennis tournament in Mildura beating Joshua Bray 6–1, 6–2 in the final. This was a big stepping stone after being beaten in the previous 12 year old National Hardcourt Tennis Tournament in January 2008 by Lochlan Greene in straight sets in the round of 16. This tournament was won by Nick Kyrgios. In 2009, Kokkinakis was selected with fellow Australian tennis representatives James Ma, Li Tu and Daniel Talens, on a Tennis Australian European tour. He has said that this tour changed the course of his career.
