Australian tennis star Thanasi Kokkinakis makes shock confession about his sporting career following another knee injury


Thanasi Kokkinakis made a shocking confession about his tennis career recently as he admitted he thought about giving it all up.

The joy of his remarkable triumph over 17th seed Felix Auger-Aliassime from two-sets down in early July turned to misery less than 24 hours later in his second-round match against French qualifier Lucas Pouille. A fortnight earlier, Kokkinakis suffered a similar tumble at the Queen's Club Championship on a wet court, which caused a medial collateral ligament injury that kept him out of action for a week. He also had sprained his troublesome left knee two years ago at a pre-Wimbledon Challenger tournament in nearby Surbiton, which cost him a month out of the sport.
