Episode Notes
Thanasi Kokkinakis joins Viv and Matt in Pod Laver Arena as he continues his rehab from pectoral attachment surgery. It’s the perfect time to talk to the Australian star coinciding with the start of Roland Garros — the site of his best Grand Slam results and a thrilling succession of five-set epics in 2024. This time around, he's making his commentary debut, joining Nine’s Wide World of Sports team to cover the Roland Garros action from Australia. Kokkinakis also opens up about his enduring Australian Open memories, connections with fellow Aussies on tour, and the lessons he's learned throughout a see-sawing career. He also takes an entertaining trip down memory lane thanks to some exclusive archive footage from his junior career.
