Nick Kyrgios Plans Tennis Comeback in Abu Dhabi

Nick Kyrgios has announced his return to professional tennis, confirming his participation in the World Tennis League in Abu Dhabi this December, followed by the Australian Open in January 2025. After battling knee, wrist, and foot injuries which sidelined him for two years, Kyrgios is motivated by the desire to win a Grand Slam and silence his critics. The 29-year-old, who reached the Wimbledon final in 2022, has hinted at retirement but is inspired by the current open state of tennis following Rafael Nadal's retirement and Novak Djokovic's aging career. Kyrgios has been active as a commentator during his hiatus and maintains that his goal is to achieve a Grand Slam victory, which he believes will validate his comeback and reputation. Despite past controversies and a reputation for being a 'bad boy' of tennis, Kyrgios insists he is misunderstood and is eager to prove himself on the court once more.
