Nick Kyrgios Confirms Return on Grass as He Is Unlikely to Play French Open 2022

Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios had a pretty great year so far. After losing the men’s singles match to Daniil Medvedev in the second round at the Australian Open, he went on to win the doubles title at the Australian open with Thanasi Kokkinakis. Both the Aussies absolutely lit up the crowd with their spectacular plays on the court. 

However, after the Australian Open, we haven’t seen Kyrgios playing in any tournaments. The Aussie took a long break, as he was recovering from tough matches in the Summer. However, he is likely to skip the clay-court season once again, as we got a confirmation of his first Grass court tournament in 2022. 

Nick Kyrgios will play in Stuttgart 

Earlier, Nick revealed that he will skip the clay-court season again this season after missing the last two years. Incidentally, Kyrgios last played at the French Open in 2017. Also, he didn’t particularly have a great result there.

However, he always gets excited about the Grass court season. According to recent reports, he will start playing at the ATP 250 event in Stuttgart, Germany. The tournament will start on 4th June and will end on 12th June. The Stuttgart Open is one of the very first tournaments to kick start the grass-court season, as players look for the best results at Wimbledon, which will start from 27th June.

Previously, in 2014, Kyrgios reached the quarter-finals at the Wimbledon, which is his best result at the Championships. En route to the quarter-final, everyone remembers his incredible victory against Rafael Nadal in the round of 16. 

Kyrgios is ready to get back on the tour after the Australian Open

At the Australian Open, Kyrgios won his major title with his fellow Australian, Thanasi Kokkinakis. Even though it was a doubles title, it could still be a turning point in his career. 

Recently in the No Boundaries podcast, Kyrgios revealed that he’s heading off to play the Indian Wells and Miami. We will probably see Nick’s best tennis in the upcoming months. He will also probably play doubles, as he hinted after the Australian Open. The Aussie also talked about becoming healthy both physically and mentally, which is a great sign for Nick.
