Thanasi Kokkinakis Sister Christina Kokkinakis Works To Help Rebrand Businesses

Thanasi Kokkinakis sister Christina Kokkinakis is a general manager at FutureBrand. 

Born to immigrant parents, Kokkinakis and his sister along with their brother, Panayioti, grew up in Adelaide, South Australia. Christina is the only daughter of the Kokkinakis family and is named after her grandmother, who passed away in 2015.

Blessed with tall genes, Christina shares the same sense of humor that Thanasi is well known for. In 2017, Thanasi tweeted that his sister asked him whether it was her mistake that she walked into a blind person. 

Christina Kokkinakis

Christina Kokkinakis, age 34, is a graduate of the University of Adelaide with a degree in media and LLB.

She has previously attended events with her brother, especially when he was an up-and-coming tennis prodigy. In 2014, the sibling duo walked the red carpet of the Newcombe Medal ceremony together.

Later that night, she saw him crowned the Male Junior Athlete of the Year. 

After her graduation, she took up the role of account manager at OMB Advertising and later as an account manager of the company, Traffic.

Before joining her current job at the brand transformation company Futur Brand in 2018, Christina worked as a mentor for business students at RMIT University. 

Though Christina is available on Instagram with the username @christina__k, she has chosen to keep the account private. But we are updated about the sister of the Australian star from her husband’s Instagram handle. 

Christina tied the knot with her husband, Wil De Souza, on December 12, 2018, and despite the height difference, the pair certainly make a cute couple. 

Wil is a senior business director at the advertising service company, Bullfrog. He graduated from the University of South Australia and received a double degree in marketing and human resource management in 2007. 

Wil and Christina are two athletic couples having shared interests in running and golf. Christina even won a silver medal in a half-marathon in 2019, with Wil sharing the photo on the occasion of his wife’s birthday on November 12. 

The couple has a cute fury baby in their pet dog, Hector, who Wil has besotted with the tile, “Protector of the realm-ish”. 

Kokkinakis brother Panayioti Kokkinakis is a former tennis player having played his last match in 2013. 

Panayioti, also called Pan, is the 31-year-old brother of Thanasi, who first dabbled in the tennis world in 2006. In his short-lived tennis career, Panayioti played 21 games with a win rate of 50%. His profile can be viewed on the ITF Tennis website.

After seeing that nothing fruitful would come out of playing with rackets, Pan decided to switch to football. At the time, Pan was also completing his civil and structural engineering degree from the University of Adelaide. 

In an interview with Adelaide Now in 2013, Pan said he wanted to make the switch as he was having a hard time maintaining his tennis career while simultaneously doing a part-time job. 

Panayioti, at the time, played football for the SANFL reserve games for South Adelaide and was looking to get full preseason for the Panthers. Though there isn’t much detail on how the football career panned out for Panayioti, it looks like he was made more for the corporate side.

Currently, Panayioti, is an engineer for the construction company McConnell Dowell, the company he joined in 2022. He previously worked for five years at ADG Engineers, where he rose through the rank to become a senior construction services engineer by the time he left in 2022. 

In 2015, Pan gave an interview on the YouTube channel of South Adelaide Football Club, where he talked about his brother and their childhood. Pan revealed that the two were highly competitive in playing tennis. 

He credited his younger sibling’s success to his coach and their dad. Pan also admitted that once he realized he couldn’t take his athletic career to the next level decided to step away from the game. Nonetheless, Pan said he was happy seeing his brother achieve the deserved success on the court.

Kokkinakis grew up in a family of two siblings with all three interested in sports. 

Thanasi, the youngest of three siblings, loved playing tennis from a young age and was inspired by his father and brother to take up the sport. The oldest of the bunch, Panayioti, was a former tennis player and later switched career to football.

Their sister and the middle child of the family, Christina, is as athletic as them. She has run marathons and loves playing golf with her husband, Will de Souza. All three siblings were let to pursue their passion and make a name for themselves in their respective fields by their supportive parents, Trevor and Voula.

Kokkinakis Father And Mother Hold Greek Nationality

Thanasi Kokkinakis parents Trevor Kokkinakis and Voula Kokkinakis were immigrants from Greek who settled in Adelaide.

Though Trevor had a huge role in helping in furthering his son’s tennis career, Trevor was strict with Thanasi when it came to academics. 

In 2014, speaking to 9NewsAdel, Trevor instructed his son to return to Australia to complete his year 12 studies, which saw him withdraw from Wimbledon. Trevor said he hopes his son gets a no.1 tennis ranking, but his studies were important as a future in sports is uncertain because of injuries.

Trevor was right about the injuries, as most of Thanasi’s tennis career had been rocked by a series of injuries that affected his ranking. In 2022, Trevor when speaking to Greek Herald, Trevor touched on the topic of his son’s injuries. 

Trevor said he was proud of the resilience his son has always shown on the tennis court. The 26-year-old has always been known for his sportsmanship, which Trevor says comes from his upbringing. 

Tennis star Thanasi Kokkinakis is single and does not have a romantic partner.

It’s hard to imagine that the handsome and charismatic Thanasi Kokkinakis doesn’t have anyone special in his life. Filled with a great sense of humor and an overall great personality, Kokkinakis has never been seen or even been rumored to be in a relationship.  

From the start of his career, Thanasi never had a shortage of female fans. Some are fans of his looks and some are fans of his skills on the court. In 2015, female fans of Thanasi got the chance to show their affection to the young Australian player quite closely. 

Kokkinakis shared the video on his Instagram handle as the two ladies poured all their love into the star and clicked photos with him. 

Though Thanasi doesn’t have a girlfriend, in 2022, he talked about his tennis partner Nick Kyrgios‘ girlfriend. Kokkinakis said Nick had shredded his bad boy image since he started dating Costeen Hatzi. 

It is to be seen when we will see Mrs. Kokkinakis in the player box cheering him on as many tennis WAGS do during the tournaments. Until then, the 26-year-old will hope to make headlines for his skills.
