Queen’s: Kokkinakis brought back to Earth

London, UK, 23 June 2017 | AAP/tennis.com.au

Thanasi Kokkinakis was sent crashing out of Queen’s Club by ruthless Russian Danill Medvedev 6-2 6-2 in less than an hour on Thursday.

Kokkinakis secured the biggest win of his career on Tuesday by beating world No.6 Milos Raonic but struggled to replicate that form against the talented Medvedev, who is ranked 60th in the ATP standings.

The South Australian got off to the worst possible start when he was broken in the first game of the match and had no answer to the serving and returning game of the 21-year-old from Moscow, who wrapped up the victory in 59 minutes.

Querrey ends Thompson’s Queen’s run

London, UK, 23 June 2017 | AAP

Jordan Thompson’s Queen’s Club adventure is over after going down 7-6(3) 3-6 6-3 to experienced American Sam Querrey.

Thompson, who shocked world No.1 Andy Murray in the first round, fought hard to fight back against the big-serving Californian but can now head to Wimbledon in confident form after a respectable showing in west London this week.

“I hadn’t been broken all match, then got broken twice in a row,” Thompson said.

Dasha moments to remember

A quarterfinal run at Birmingham sees Daria Gavrilova on the cusp of a top-20 breakthrough – providing us with good reason to look back on some Dasha moments to remember.

22 June 2017 | Vivienne Christie

Hopman Cup heroics:  We saw the best of Dasha as she teamed with Nick Kyrgios to win the Hopman Cup for Australia in 2016. Gavrilova was at her most heroic when she saved a clutch match point in the doubles rubber with France to send Australia into the final.

And Dasha never stopped smiling: A favourite with fans and media throughout her debut at the team event, the bubbly Melburnian showed how the love was mutual when she joyfully (and hilariously) discussed that run to the final.

 Fed Cup debut: Dasha quickly became a Fed Cup favourite when she debuted in the Australian team alongside Sam Stosur, Casey Dellacqua and Arina Rodionova at Brisbane in 2016. Gavrilova was a superstar in her most recent appearance against Serbia in  April’s World Group II Play-off, surrendering just seven games as she claimed important wins over Ivana Jorovic and Nina Stojanovic.

Ashleigh Barty: By the numbers

A career-best win in Birmingham is one of many things to celebrate about this rising Australian star.

Birmingham B15 2TT, UK, 22 June 2017 | tennis.com.au

Ashleigh Barty has just scored the biggest win of her singles career, defeating world No.22 Barbora Strycova to reach the Birmingham quarterfinals.

But that’s just one of many numbers worth celebrating about this talented Australian player.

1: Ashleigh won her first WTA singles title in Kuala Lumpur in March, winning the title as a No.158-ranked qualifier.

The Australian beat the eighth seed 6-3 3-6 6-1, and will next take her place across the net from either second seed Elina Svitolina or Italy’s Camila Giorgi.

Barty began brilliantly against the Czech, racing to a 4-0 lead in 15 minutes.

Gavrilova fights through to Birmingham quarters

Birmingham, UK, 21 June 2017 | AAP/tennis.com.au

Australian No.1 Daria Gavrilova has edged into the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon warm-up event in Birmingham with a 7-5 2-6 6-4 win over Czech Katerina Siniakova.

The world No.21 battled with her serve in hot conditions in England’s second city, being broken six times, but showed great character to see off her 40th-ranked rival in just under two-and-a-half hours.

Gavrilova recovered from 4-2 down in the opening set and despite letting slip a 2-0 lead in the third set, re-focused to break serve again in the fifth game – an advantage she maintained for the rest of the match.

Tomic’s Halle campaign ends

Halle, Germany, 21 June 2017 | AAP

Bernard Tomic has been sent out of the Halle ATP grasscourt event in Germany by a sweet-swinging Richard Gasquet, 6-3 6-3.

Buoyed by Tuesday’s excellent win over wily German Tommy Haas, the Queenslander was looking to build on that victory ahead of Wimbledon, starting on 3 July.

However, he made a less-than-ideal start as the world No.30 broke his serve in the opening game and again in the 10th to seize the early initiative.

Why we love Thanasi Kokkinakis

If there’s one thing that’s bigger than Thanasi Kokkinakis’ power-packed game it’s his huge natural appeal. Here’s why fans love the rising Aussie star:

21 June 2017 | Vivienne Christie

He’s talented: Kokkinakis’ exciting natural ability – showcasing power and athleticism – was evident early; a runner-up to Nick Kyrgios at the AO2013 boys’ event, he described his first main draw Australian Open win over Igor Sijsling the following year, when he overcame serious cramp, as career-defining. Bigger things soon followed: at AO2014, Kokkinakis saved a match point as he defeated No.13 Ernests Gulbis 8-6 in the fifth set.

Cheeky: At a pre-AO2014 function for racquet sponsor Babolat, the then 17-year-old interviewed Rafael Nadal. “If we both win our first round match here we play each other. Will you be nervous?” Thanasi mischievously enquired. Among those who promptly roared with laughter, was of course Rafa himself.

Respectful: When that AO match with Nadal eventuated, the young Aussie competed with natural respect. It’s the flipside to a natural humour for Kokkinakis, who talks often about the history of tennis and heroes he’d love to emulate. Fellow South Australian Lleyton Hewitt is always a special mention.
