Armed with a dead man's Achilles in his shoulder, Thanasi Kokkinakis is back hitting groundstrokes pain-free after undergoing revolutionary surgery in a last-ditch effort to save his tennis career.
After years of mental and physical "torture," Kokkinakis underwent pectoral reattachment surgery in February.
Entrusting the same respected doctor who completed career-reviving shoulder surgery on Pat Rafter and Shane Warne, Kokkinakis admitted to rolling the dice.
