Nick Kyrgios to Return at Brisbane International

Nick Kyrgios is set to make his return to competitive tennis at the Brisbane International in December, following a lengthy absence due to knee, foot, and wrist injuries that required multiple surgeries. Despite a challenging recovery, Kyrgios has expressed optimism, stating that he feels the best he has in years and is excited to play in front of home fans. His comeback also includes participation in the World Tennis League exhibition event in Abu Dhabi and aims to regain form for the Australian Open in 2025. Kyrgios, known for his fiery on-court persona and having won seven ATP titles, faced an 85% chance of retiring due to his injuries but is determined to leave the sport on his own terms. His last Grand Slam appearance was the US Open in 2022, where he reached the quarter-finals after a notable Wimbledon final run.
