Kokkinakis in form revival

THANASI Kokkinakis has given Australian Davis Cup team bosses a safety net for next month’s semi-final in Belgium with a form surge.

Wildcard Kokkinakis dragged Australian men’s tennis off the floor even though he was unable to win Australia’s first ATP singles title of the year, losing 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 to American Sam Querrey yesterday at Los Cabos, Mexico.

After dismal results at Wimbledon for Australian men, Kokkinakis’s form has lent some optimism.
