“I want to give my fans one or two more years,” Kyrgios announces his return to competition

The Australian tennis player, who has been absent from the courts for a year, has announced his return to competition for August, initially in doubles.

Nick Kyrgios has never been closer to his return to the courts. Absent from the courts since June 2023 and a first-round defeat in Stuttgart, the Australian has spoken of an imminent return to competition. For the end of August, more precisely, where he will perform in doubles on the Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) circuit, in New York (United States).

«My goal is to get back on the circuit, to the competition, and to enjoy it.the Australian evokes to the UTS media. It’s been so long since I’ve played a match. I just want to get out there and get that feeling back that I lost. I love tennis, ultimately. I miss beating people, winning. I was winning so much in 2022 before I had to stop. I want to get that feeling back and give my fans another year or two, to get the Nick Kyrgios experience back.”

Present at Wimbledon, where he trains and fulfills media obligations as a consultant, the finalist of the 2022 edition is coming out of a difficult year, between a knee operation at the beginning of 2023 before a wrist problem in June of the same year. Today, the 29-year-old Australian, who often spoke of a certain weariness of tennis, admits to missing the little yellow ball.During this break, I missed playing a lot, concedes the interested party. I missed the audience, I missed my fans. I even missed the ones who hate me. I missed everything.”
