Kokkinakis on knee injury

Thanasi Kokkinakis's Wimbledon campaign was marred by a knee injury that forced him to withdraw after slipping and twisting his left knee during a match against Lucas Pouille. Kokkinakis, a big man often cautious on grass courts, had previously suffered similar injuries, with fears that this setback could be severe. Despite his earlier epic comeback win, this injury dashed his hopes, leading to an MRI scan to assess the damage. Meanwhile, fellow Australian players Alex de Minaur and Alexei Popyrin progressed in the tournament, showcasing the rising strength of Australian tennis talent at Wimbledon.
