For this Australian tennis player Thanasi Kokkinakis has withdrawn from the Brisbane International due to a minor hip injury. Despite receiving a wildcard, he announced his withdrawal on X, stating, “Sad to miss [the Brisbane International] this year. Dealing with a small hip issue that needs some more time, but hopefully back for the rest of the summer.”
Kokkinakis last played competitively in early December at a UTS event in London, having previously represented Australia at the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga. While he holds a wildcard for the Adelaide International, starting January 6, his participation is uncertain. His ultimate goal is to be fit for the Australian Open, commencing January 12.
