Nick Kyrgios never fails to grab the attention, can he? The Australian star is on the verge of a comeback after being away from the action for months now. Kyrgios is aiming to play in next year’s Australian Open and make a positive comeback in front of the home fans, who have been craving to see their star in action on the court. Kyrgios last played at the ATP 2500 Stuttgart in June 2023 and has been on the sidelines since due to injuries. Nonetheless, with just weeks left for his comeback, the Australian star is already hyping his return.

The former Wimbledon finalist is one of the most-talked-about ATP stars on the tour, even while not playing. As a result, the news of his comeback spread like wildfire in the media and various channels have constantly talked about it. Kyrgios took to his TikTok handle and shared a clip featuring different channels talking about his comeback.

While one of the channels revealed that he was on the verge of a stunning comeback, another channel conveyed that Australian fans would be able to see Kyrgios in action at the Grand Slam Down Under. Later, the video also showed Kyrgios winning a stunning rally at the Australian Open, something that he would aim to do next year as well.

Announcing his comeback from injuries next season, Kyrgios said, “I will be playing the Australian Open this summer. I just miss being out there playing in front of a home crowd. We’ve got such a crowd of guys at the moment like Alex de Minaur playing amazing tennis. Whether it is good or bad, it will certainly be a lot of fun, for sure. I am looking forward to it … My only motivation to come back and play is to try and win a grand slam, and I’ll give it one more shot.”

While he confirmed the news about his comeback in the 2025 season, Kyrgios would be wary of his past injury record. During a podcast, he narrated details of his horrifying injury nightmare.

Doctors gave up hope on Nick Kyrgios returning to tennis

Injuries are a part and parcel of the game, it is often said. However, in the case of Kyrgios, it has come as a horrifying nightmare. Kyrgios suffered wrist and knee injuries which almost ended his career.

Revealing details of his injury nightmare, Kyrgios said, “The injury I had was brutal … The surgeon said I probably wouldn’t be able to play again. But I said whatever, just try and get me another two to three years of my career … It’s been a brutal last couple of years, but just being out there to play in front of a home crowd … I just want to be out there, lighting up the crowd and playing in front of my own country.”

Despite these tough times, Kyrgios hasn’t given up on his tennis ambitions. “Tennis my top priority. I’m still figuring out how to beat the best players in the world. That’s my sole goal – how am I training, what can I improve on, stay healthy.”

After missing out on action for more than a year, Kyrgios has become unranked and lost all ranking points. Thus, he would have to start afresh when he returns to the court next season.
