Zverev beats Kokkinakis at the Boodles

Sascha Zverev had a nice warm-up match with a resurgent Thanasi Kokkinakis at the Boodles. The German won the contest after a tight battle 7-6(4) 6-7(4) 10-2.

It was an enjoyable match. ZVEREV

Soon after the encounter, Sascha commented

“It was great. Obviously, before it gets all serious at Wimbledon, it’s great to come out here, enjoy your time on court with a great crowd, and with Thanasi who’s a great friend of mine. So, it was an enjoyable match.”

I like to play a close mate. KOKKINAKIS

Thanasi was also quite happy to comment

“It’s good fun playing a close mate. I’ve known Alex for a long time now, and he’s been doing some great things in the sport, it’s always fun to play him. I think the match went on a bit longer than most of us were expecting, but yeah, it’s good to get another match on the grass.”

That’s great to see Thanasi back to good levels.
