Share

Thanasi Kokkinakis has made the most of a lucky loser spot at the Miami Open by winning a three-set thriller in the opening round.

The 26-year-old Aussie bounced back from his final qualifying round loss two days ago and returned to the winners’ circle with a hard-fought 4-6 6-3 7-6(7) victory against Belgium’s Zizou Bergs.

After recovering from a 2-4 deficit in the deciding set, Kokkinakis eventually sealed victory against the 23-year-old wildcard in two hours and 29 minutes.

Kokkinakis was forced to dig deep though, bravely saving three match points in the third-set tiebreak.
