Thanasi Kokkinakis Undergoes Surgery to Address Long-Standing Pectoral Injury

The Australian tennis player hopes the procedure will end years of physical and mental challenges caused by the recurring issue.

Thanasi Kokkinakis, 28, has undergone surgery to treat a persistent pectoral injury that has impacted his career and well-being.
The injury worsened during his Australian Open singles match against Jack Draper in January 2025, followed by his withdrawal from a doubles match with Nick Kyrgios.
Kokkinakis described the injury as his 'toughest challenge to date,' citing years of failed non-surgical treatments and ongoing pain.
Currently ranked 84th in the world, Kokkinakis has faced multiple injury setbacks throughout his career, including a prolonged recovery from shoulder surgery in the past.
There is no specific timeline for his return to competition, but fellow players and fans have expressed support for his recovery.
