Greek Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has made a successful return to the ATP Tour, defeating world number 36 Corentin Moutet 6-3, 6-4 in the opening round of the Stuttgart grass-court event.
The victory was Kyrgios’s first singles match since January’s Brisbane International and only his second singles win since 2022. The 31-year-old was awarded a wildcard entry into the tournament.
Kyrgios will next face world number 101 Sho Shimabukuro in the round of 16.
A series of injuries, particularly to his knee and wrist, have limited Kyrgios’s appearances since his breakthrough 2022 season, when he reached the final of Wimbledon Championships.
While Kyrgios remains young enough to continue competing for several more years, his future on tour will depend on both his physical condition and desire to keep playing.
