Australian teenager Thanasi Kokkinakis has burst into the fourth round of the Indian Wells Masters with a hard-fought victory over Juan Monaco.
Kokkinakis, the current world no. 124 triumphed 6-2 5-7 7-6 (7-5) over the Argentine world No.48.
He will now meet the winner between fellow Australian Bernard Tomic and Spain’s David Ferrer to be played also on Monday in the Californian desert.
At just 18 years of age, Kokkinakis appears well on track to crack the top 100 in 2015 as he carries on his early season form from the Australian Summer.
After receiving wild cards to both the Brisbane International and Australian Open, Kokkinakis received high praise for his efforts, managing to knock off two tough first round opponents: 8th seed Julien Benneteau in Brisbane, and 11th seed Ernests Gulbis in Melbourne.
