This is the first time I have heard of Thanasi Kokkinakis of Australia. He's currently ranked #570 in the world yet he won his first round match here in Melbourne, defeating Igor Sijsling (#73) of the Netherlands, 76(4) 06 76(3) 62.
As Lleyton Hewitt lost in the first round yesterday, Thanasi shows that there are several young Aussie players coming up the rankings to fly the Aussie flag here in Melbourne in the coming years!
Thanasi will next meet world #1 Rafael Nadal in the second round.
