Australia, 2024. The exhibition match at the Open hangs in the air, no charity, just pure sport. Your draw couldn’t be worse: Thanasi Kokkinakis. Enemies is too strong a word; we just clash. He’s all easy smiles and good looks, a permanent thorn in your side. In the locker room, amid the smell of sweat and menthol gel, he steps into your space. You stiffen, waiting for the insult or the victory boast he hasn’t earned yet. The tension is a live wire.
