Australian tennis players mark the beginning of the year in red on their calendars and often elevate their performance significantly when competing in front of their fans. However, Thanasi Kokkinakis and Ajla Tomljanovic will have to delay their performances due to physical issues. Kokkinakis withdrew from Brisbane due to discomfort in his left hip, while Ajla is dealing with problems in her left knee and withdrew from Brisbane and Hobart. Both will try to speed up their recovery to make it to the 2025 Australian Open.

They were champions of the Australian Open in doubles, surprising the world and showing what friendship and chemistry can achieve. Since then, the careers of Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis have taken very different paths, with Nick stepping away from tennis for a year and a half, while Thanasi gradually returned to the top of the rankings, with slow but steady progress based on a lot of hard work. Kyrgios' return to the courts will bring back the "Double K" on court: confirmed by the Canberra native... albeit with a cryptic message. "King and Kokk: we're back for the Australian Open... expect fireworks... one last time". Does this indicate that 2025 could be the retirement year for Nick Kyrgios, or will he simply set aside any possibility of competing in doubles tournaments? You be the judge.

Many of the players who are still active on the ATP circuit had the opportunity to face the great Roger Federer. This is the case for Denis Shapovalov and Thanasi Kokkinakis, who shared a panel during the UTS in Frankfurt and reminisced about what it meant to compete against the Swiss genius. The memories, of course, come with a sense of disbelief at what Roger was capable of doing:

"Federer makes you feel like a junior player, literally. I faced him in the Miami semifinals after defeating good players like Tiafoe or Rublev... and I felt like a junior on the court. It was impressive," noted Denis, echoed by the Australian: "No one makes you feel more powerless than him. I have never seen him sweat. He also had the biggest calves on the tour; if he shaved his legs, game over. It seems like he doesn't even exert effort. He's mocking you. At least, when Rafa plays, he shouts, you feel that at some point, they might be dominating him; Nole slips... but Federer seems to be joking around while playing," Thanasi stated, who managed to beat him in Miami 2018.

The 2024 Davis Cup is synonymous with great battles. This was demonstrated by Thanasi Kokkinakis and Ben Shelton in the opening match of the quarterfinal tie between Australia and the United States, engaging in an agonizing battle that was not decided until an extended final tiebreak. Thanasi saved up to four match points, converting on his seventh opportunity to give his country the lead after a thrilling match that created a fantastic atmosphere at the Martín Carpena (6-1, 4-6, 7-6(14)). An unforgettable duel that puts the Americans in a tight spot, relying on Taylor Fritz to keep their chances alive in regaining the trophy.

Australia is always one of the most competitive nations in all team events in the tennis world. Regardless of the number of stars or the depth of their roster, the Australians transform when they put on the national team jersey. Without Alex de Miñaur as the star, Lleyton Hewitt's players already have two victories in Valencia; today they overcame a heavily depleted Czech Republic, with Tomas Machac retiring after one set in his match against Popyrin, leading to a victory in which Thanasi Kokkinakis (6-2, 6-7(2), 6-3 over Jakub Mensik) and Ebden/Purcell in doubles (6-4, 6-2 over Mensik/Pavlasek) also contributed.

The Laver Cup 2024 announced changes to its lineup after Alex de Minaur and Tommy Paul were forced to withdraw from the tournament, which will take place between September 20 and 22. At this point, both players are injured and would not be able to make it in time. Thus, Team World already has their two replacements: Francisco Cerundolo and Thanasi Kokkinakis. Both the Argentine and the Australian already know what it means to represent this team under the command of John McEnroe, as Cerundolo participated last year, while Kokkinakis did so in 2017.
