The Australian World No.26 Nick Kyrgios is yet to play a tournament this year after a successful 2022 where he won his first Grand Slam title, in doubles, down under. He also played in a singles Grand Slam final at Wimbledon. As it appears, the Australian will be looking to come back for the grass season and possibly peak at Wimbledon. With a strong service game, Kyrgios loves playing on the grass courts.

The Aussie recently revealed that he is not quite sure yet when he will be back on the tennis tour. He also said that he is not at all in a hurry to return to the circuit after a successful knee injury at the start of the year. The tennis fans were connecting his girlfriend Costeen Hatzi’s comment previously on her wish to visit Paris and Kyrgios’ response to playing French Open for that. Nevertheless, it won’t happen this year.

As per Kyrgios, “Currently taking it day by day with my knee and building up the load. Trying to get back to where I was. The surgery was a great success. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome of it. Now we will be pushing ahead for a speedy recovery and are aiming to see everyone at Indian Wells.”
