Nick Kyrgios confirms return to tennis at 2025 Australian Open

·

Nick Kyrgios has confirmed his return to playing tennis at the 2025 Australian Open.

Speaking at a South By Southwest event in Sydney on Thursday, the 29-year-old Wimbledon finalist was clear about his intentions to return after playing just one ATP-level match in the past two years due to ongoing wrist, knee and foot injuries.

“The injury I had was brutal… The surgeon said I probably wouldn’t be able to play again. But I said whatever, just try and get me another two-to-three years of my career,” Kyrgios said.

“Everything has gone semi-well, and I will be playing the Australian [sic] Open this summer. It’s been a brutal last couple of years… but just being out there to play in front of a home crowd…”

Kyrgios said whether his return was “good or bad,” he was “looking forward to it.”

“My only motivation to come back and play is to try and win a grand slam, and I’ll give it one more shot,” he said.

Kyrgios’ greatest grand slam singles success was in 2022 when he played and lost to Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final. That same year Kyrgios won the 2022 Australian Open doubles title with fellow Greek Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis.
