Novak Djokovic and fellow 20-time grand slam winner Roger Federer have sent congratulations to Thanasi Kokkinakis, but the rejuvenated Australian would have missed their messages if it wasn't for a case of boredom.
Kokkinakis broke through for his maiden ATP title on Saturday night when he beat Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech in the Adelaide International 2 final.
It marked a deserved happy chapter in Kokkinakis' career following years of injury torment and illness.
The 25-year-old has been feeling the love from tennis players and fans from around the world since.
Djokovic, who sent Kokkinakis his message just hours before losing his Federal Court appeal against the decision to cancel his visa, and Federer reached out to Kokkinakis via social media.
