South Australian tennis player Thanasi Kokkinakis has provided an update on his recovery from a persistent pectoral injury.
On Thursday, February 27, Kokkinakis shared a video on Instagram showing himself going in and out of surgery as he continues to battle the issue. The video also captured loved ones wishing him well before the procedure.
“Been struggling for a little while with this… Probably my toughest challenge to date,” he wrote.
“I’ve been trying to find the answers to an ongoing Pec injury that I haven’t been able to fix. Let’s see how this goes.”
Kokkinakis first revealed his struggle with the injury following his second-round defeat to Britain’s Jack Draper at this year’s Australian Open.
Fans and fellow players, including the Australian Open’s official account and French player Lucas Pouille, sent messages of support.
“Get well soon my friend,” Pouille commented, while another supporter wrote, “comeback’s going to be bigger than the setback my guy.”
