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 is expected to regularly participate in the 2025 Australian Open, although his presence has been put at risk by an abdominal injury. The Australian ace was supposed to be one of the protagonists of the exhibition with Novak Djokovic at Melbourne Park on Thursday, but he had to miss that event so as not to risk worsening his injury.

Nick Kyrgios said on Friday his return to the Grand Slam stage at Melbourne Park after two injury-plagued years has come just in time as tennis was becoming "a bit mundane".

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 threw fresh doubt on whether he will play in the Australian Open after withdrawing from an exhibition match. The Australian, who reached the Wimbledon final in 2022, returned to action in Brisbane last week after playing only one singles match since October 2022 following knee and wrist surgeries.

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 indicated he thinks he will be able to compete at the Australian Open despite a recent issue with an abdominal muscle.

Britain's Jacob Fearnley is set to face Nick Kyrgios - and a partisan home crowd - in the controversial Australian's return to Grand Slam tennis.

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.
