Nick Kyrgios Set for Inspiring Tennis Comeback at Brisbane International

Nick Kyrgios plans to return to competitive tennis at the Brisbane International after being sidelined for two years due to injuries. The 29-year-old Australian aims to participate in upcoming events and is excited about performing in front of home fans.

Nick Kyrgios announced his intention to return to the tennis court at the Brisbane International starting December 29, following an extended break caused by severe wrist and knee injuries. The 29-year-old, who has played one ATP Tour match in over two years, expressed excitement at resuming his career.

Kyrgios faced significant setbacks after reaching the 2022 U.S. Open quarterfinals, missing multiple Grand Slams, including the 2023 Australian and French Opens due to health issues. His Wimbledon final appearance in 2022 remains his closest shot at a Grand Slam title before losing to Novak Djokovic.

With his sights set on future tournaments like the 2025 Australian Open, Kyrgios also plans to participate in the World Tennis League exhibition in Abu Dhabi. Despite past challenges, the unranked yet former top-ranked player is eager to impress his home crowd with his comeback performance.
