Kokkinakis conquers Las Vegas

Published Oct 30, 2018

Thanasi Kokkinaki emerged victorious at an ATP Challenger in one of the most fun cities in the world, Las Vegas.

"I wouldn't want to do it anywhere else," the 22-year-old joked.

The Australian's ranking has jumped up to No. 154 after starting the year outside of the Top 200. He was ranked as high as No. 69 in 2015, but he's been held back by multiple injuries, including shoulder surgery.

"I'm just trying to get myself going again and get back to where I think I belong," Kokkinakis said.

He certainly looks to be on the path toward the Top 100. It's his second ATP Challenger title of the year after winning a $100,000 in Aptos, Calif. in August.
