Nick Kyrgios returns to Davis Cup after five-year absence

·

Nick Kyrgios has been named in Australia’s Davis Cup team for the first time since 2019.

Kyrgios will be joining Alex de Minaur, Jordan Thompson, and Thanasi Kokkinakis for the qualifying tie against Sweden in Stockholm on January 31 and February 1.

The 2022 Wimbledon finalist returns after years of reluctance to compete, previously citing a lack of public support.

While his fitness is uncertain following recent wrist surgery, Kyrgios’ doubles expertise could be a key asset for captain Lleyton Hewitt.

Australia, led by world number eight de Minaur, are heavy favourites against Sweden, whose top player is ranked 327.

Kyrgios’ comeback adds excitement to the campaign as Australia seeks another strong Davis Cup run.
