Back on court after a year away, Thanasi Kokkinakis sparked hopes in Adelaide by outlasting Sebastian Korda in a third-set tiebreak. Unfortunately, the win took its toll, as he's once again dealing with an arm injury.

Set to face Valentin Vacherot in the second round on Wednesday, the Australian opted to withdraw. On social media, he posted: « Very sad to have to withdraw from one of my favorite events. Unfortunately, my arm isn't ready yet after missing a year.

The support is always incredible and I love playing here. See you next year. »
