Kokkinakis has such a big level for all he has been go through. Honestly he has a top 30 level. He is very very good. Keet it up Thanasi !

The Greek connection!

Tsitsipas played strong and calm mostly when he needed to.Very good movement from both of the players .Kokkinakis was very motivated cause of getting back from the injuries and playing in front of his own crowd ,so it was kinda not surprising to see a 5 set match. I wish Tsitsipas all the best in continuing this tournament and to those who read this and all others aswell :)
