Aussie tennis ace Thanasi Kokkinakis moves on with top model Paige Henry

A budding new romance appears to be on the cards for Aussie tennis star Thanasi Kokkinakis, who was recently seen sharing a close moment with a stunning brunette.

Australian tennis ace Thanasi Kokkinakis appears to have moved on with a top brunette model.

Kokkinakis was captured in a close moment with Paige Henry on a Melbourne street, in a picture he reposted to his Instagram story on Tuesday night.

Henry looks to have worked abroad with worldwide representation, including top Australian agency Chadwick.

It’s the first sign that Kokkinakis has moved on from his relationship with Melbourne influencer Hannah Dal Sasso — but he has been spotted with active profiles on dating apps.

The glamour couple separated in September last year after 18 months together.

In January Dal Sasso said they were friends and hanging out.

“We’re definitely not official but we’re on good terms,’’ Dal Sasso said.

“I wish him well but I’m excited to do my own thing at the tennis.”

Over her time as a tennis wag Dal Sasso made strong friendships with the likes of Costeen Hatzi, partner of Nick Kyrgios and Paige Lorenze, partner of Tommy Paul.

The ladies had a strong presence at events throughout the tournament.

Kokkinakis, 28, bravely went down in five sets to Brit Jack Draper in the second round as a pectoral problem flared again.

He took to the court with Nick Kyrgios to play doubles but after a set had to withdraw against fellow Australian pair Aleksander Vukic and James Duckworth.

Afterwards the Davis Cup star admitted he was cooked and the long standing injury issue had him going through “mental torture and physical torture”.

Kokkinakis has remained in Australia while he recovers and attended the UFC in Sydney earlier this month.

In March 2023 Dal Sasso and Kokkinakis went public with their romance at the Glamour on the Grid party ahead of the F1 Grand Prix in Melbourne. At the time, Dal Sasso told Confidential they had “met a few months ago,” adding, “I’ve been travelling with him for a bit”.
