Turns 15 in two days but this week managed to get a win in the Maindraw of the Bundaberg Futures Tournament as a wildcard and then reportedly gave Michael Venus big struggles in the first set of their match. I don't know how many/if any 1995 kids currently have a seniors rank let alone those born in 1996.

This is his profile off Tennis Australia.

Thanasi Kokkinakis made solid progress in 2010. In May he was a member of the Australian team that finished top of its pool in the Asia–Oceania qualifying event for the ITF World Junior Tennis Competition. In the finals the team finished seventh.

The right-hander, who took up tennis when he was eight years old, continued to improve in 2010 showing good form at both home and abroad.

A member of the Adelaide National Academy, Thanasi is coached by Todd Langman and Brod ****.

Thanasi says his career highlights to date are representing Australia in the World Junior Tennis Competition and winning European Young Stars events in Holland and Paris

His ambition is to be No.1 in the world and play Davis Cup for Australia. He says the most influential people on his career to date are his brother, parents and Langman, his first coach.

Thanasi’s favourite player is Frenchman Gael Monfils “because he is so entertaining”. The Year 9 Scotch College student’s favourite subjects are PE, Health and Tech and in his spare time he enjoys Playstation, watching TV and sleeping. He likes listening to techno, hip hop, R’n’B, Michael Jackson, David Guetta, and Ministry of Sound compilations. His favourite food is pizza and he also likes to play basketball.

Well he's down two breaks of serve right now, so hopefully he wins so I can watch a Kokkinakis/Quinzi match.

Well, he won! 2-6, 6-4, 6-3. Great fightback :) he was down a break in the second, if I remember correctly.

This is such a tough one to pick. Right now I'm thinking the Kokk in three but before the match I reckon I'll change it to Krygios, but this will be my pick I put online which is the one that counts so...

I'll say Krygios 7-5 4-6 11-9

Apparently he is out for the first few months of the year with this stress fracture. Not good at all to be experiencing these types of injuries at only 16 years of age...

Because that is where all the Tennis Australia coaches and other player's are at the moment, I presume. He will be sharing acoach and also accommodation.
