Tennis: Thanasi Kokkinakis is through to the second round at Wimbledon after his epic five set match against 17th seed Felix Auger Aliassime.
Kokkinakis completes EPIC 5-set comeback | 00:48Near nerveless in an opening round triumph over James Duckworth at Wimbledon on Tuesday, Alex de Minaur bounced into the most stressful situation the Australian star can imagine – watching his partner Katie Boulter in a tight match of her own.
“I never knew that we were so good at playing tiebreaks, so happy days. We both got through tough matches and hopefully we can enjoy tonight and tomorrow and be ready for the next round.” The pair had arrived at Wimbledon in great form in 2023, with Boulter successful in a tournament in Nottingham and de Minaur a finalist at the Queen’s Club, where he pushed Carlos Alcaraz.Their form has been strong on grass again this year, with de Minaur winning a title in the Netherlands and Boulter again successful in Nottingham, but the Roland Garros quarterfinalist said the focus had been less stressful this year.
The 25-year-old, who will play Jaume Munar in the second round, has previously credited Boulter with making him a better player, saying he felt happier and more composed in her presence. Boulter will play compatriot Harriet Dart in the second round.“I think the fact that there is probably attention on us because we’re winning matches together, it’s a good sign, right, so I’m happy. It’s more about that than just because we’re a couple.
