Published January 11, 2018

Fans will soon be playing one of the most realistic-looking tennis video games out there, AO Tennis. Thanasi Kokkinakis got to be part of the process, lending his face and body movements to the game.

"It does look like me," he said. "That is nuts!"

The game will feature the likes of Angelique Kerber, Rafael Nadal, Karolina Pliskova, John Isner, Daria Gavrilova, Samantha Stosur and a lot more.
