Thanasi Kokkinakis surprises hungry fans in the Wimbledon queue with a pizza delivery..

 

When Thanasi Kokkinakis heard there were some hungry Australian fans in the Wimbledon queue what did he do? Why, delivered them some pizza of course!

 

The 19-year-old Adelaide native visited the famous Wimbledon queue for the first time on a warm evening in SW19 to hand deliver dinner to the fans, who had pitched tents ready to wait in line overnight to buy tickets for The Championships the following day.

 

In a 45-minute visit, Kokkinakis caught up with the Fanatics, who were hoping to see Nick Kyrgios play the following day, before helping some British fans pitch their tent for the night. The rising star also took multiple selfies with the excited fans.

 

Kokkinakis teamed with Lleyton Hewitt in a five-set doubles win on Thursday. The Australians edged 15th seeds Marin Draganja and Henri Kontinen 8-6 in a fifth set after three hours and 53 minutes.
