Thanasi Kokkinakis has enjoyed his greatest ever win at a grand slam, eliminating 11th seed Stefanos Tsitsipas from the US Open. The 28-year-old Aussie joined Jordan Thompson and inspired wildcard Tristan Skoolkate in the second round before national No.1 Alex de Minaur made a successful comeback from injury.
” The 23-year-old Schoolkate earned a second-round shot at Czeck Jakub Mensik, not to mention a life-changing career pay day of at least $US140,000 . Thompson earlier shook off the disappointment of missing a seeding by one lousy rankings spot to blow away Constant Lestienne 6-1 6-3 6-2 in less than two hours. The world No.32 did his best to escape the searing heat by breaking the Frenchman six times without dropping his own serve once. Thompson will play world No.
