Nick Kyrgios says he is good for tennis and the sport will get a boost from his return to Grand Slam action at the Australian Open.

Nick Kyrgios has cast doubt on his participation at the Australian Open after suffering a fresh injury issue on the eve of the first grand slam of 2025.

Nick Kyrgios risks having to miss the Australian Open 2025 - which will start on Sunday 12 January - due to a new physical problem. The Australian tennis player has communicated to fans, through an Instagram story, how he is struggling with another type of injury that is quite serious and will have to be monitored in the coming days.

Nick Kyrgios faces another injury setback in his planned return to Grand Slam tennis at the Australian Open after an abdominal strain forced him to withdraw from an exhibition with Novak Djokovic this week.

Nick Kyrgios promised Jannik Sinner that he would turn their match into “an absolute riot” should the feuding pair meet at the Australian Open.

Nick Kyrgios returns to the Australian Open and plays Britain’s Jacob Fearnley in his first match at the tournament in three years. The controversial Australian has been sidelined for most of the past two years following knee and wrist surgeries - and claims the sport has been “mundane” in his absence.

Nick Kyrgios has hailed the ‘X factor’ of rising British tennis star Jacob Fearnley ahead of their first-round showdown at the Australian Open. Fearnley, 23, is set to feature in his second Grand Slam main draw having impressively pushed Novak Djokovic to four sets at Wimbledon last year.

There have still been plenty of words written about Kyrgios while he was away from the tour, especially regarding his outspoken criticism of world number one Jannik Sinner over two failed doping tests.
