Thanasi Kokkinakis had to withdraw again, and his press conference at Roland Garros 2026 was heartbreaking. When asked about the reason for his decision, the Australian was as sincere as he was saddened, indicating that his shoulder issue had resurfaced.

"I am dealing with the same injury. I felt it was getting worse, and I faced the match with many doubts because I wanted to compete, but I knew something was not right. It worsened progressively during the match, and I felt that if I kept playing, something really serious could happen."

"Tomorrow I will undergo tests. I am not going back to Australia yet because I am trying to be optimistic. I felt that if I continued, I could miss Wimbledon and even the US Open. Right now, my goal is simply to be able to play the Grand Slams once more."
