The new love interest who watched the special K’s lose in fiery Australian Open showdown – and she was not there to see Nick Kyrgios
Aussie tennis star Thanasi Kokkinakis is questioning his future in the sport after yet another injury – and his rumoured new partner turned plenty of heads when she was spotted cheering him on Thursday night at Melbourne Park.
Kokkinakis, 29, who previously dated model and content creator Hannah Dal Sasso, is reportedly in a relationship with Paige Henry.
She is also a model, having worked with leading Australian agency Chadwick as well as Elite Model Management overseas.
Daily Mail understands she bases herself in London, Australia and New Zealand, and previously described herself as a ‘jetsetter.’
On Kia Arena, Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios – better known as the Special Ks – were bundled out in the first round of the men’s doubles by compatriots Marc Polmans and Jason Kubler.
Post-match, a shattered Kokkinakis confirmed he will now take a ‘serious’ break after a shoulder complaint required treatment in the deciding third set.

It follows nearly 12 months on the sidelines following pectoral surgery last February.
‘I think I’m going to be on ice for a while,’ Kokkinakis told reporters.
‘I will take a serious break. ‘I’m in no way, shape or form ready to compete at this level…’I don’t know how much I have left (to give).’
Rumours of a relationship with Henry have been swirling for almost 12 months after they were spotted together in Melbourne.
Neither has officially confirmed if they are an item.
His good mate Kyrgios is reportedly dating Melbourne-based marketing manager Alexia Alessi, who bears a striking resemblance to his previous squeeze Costeen Hatzi.
Alessi and Kyrgios looked smitten in the Daily Mail’s exclusive photos this week as they shared lingering glances while they headed out to dinner in Melbourne with another couple on what looked like a double date.
The 30-year-old ace frequently held Alessi’s hand and wrapped his arm around her waist, with the new couple beaming with happiness in every photo.
Kyrgios was also previously linked to glamorous Love Island star Mia Dalkos.
