Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios entertains fans like no other player on Tour. When he competes at the various Grand Slam events, he lights up the atmosphere. Over the years, he has been a crowd-puller at tournaments. He has even beaten Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic in their first-ever meetings. 

Recently, Nick Kyrgios gave some good news and confirmed his participation at this year’s US Open event. After skipping the tournament last season, this was a welcome announcement for his fans.

Due to the effects of the global pandemic and a wrist injury, Nick chose to stay away from Tour the previous year. The Australian star confirmed his participation by putting up a post on Instagram and added a caption that stated, “US OPEN I’ll see you this year.”

Nick Kyrgios did not play the US Open last season

Last season, the Australian athlete skipped the US Open and the French Open. In the current season, he might skip the French Open again. However, he could feature at the Wimbledon Championships, a place where he made his Grand Slam debut. 

In 2019, Nick played the US Open at Flushing Meadows. After winning the first two matches, his journey ended in the third round after he lost to the upcoming Russian talent Andrey Rublev.

In the current season, Nick competed at the Australian Open. During his match against Austrian tennis player Dominic Thiem, he was up by two sets before losing the next three which resulted in his exit. He had come back to the Tour after more than a year. Since then, Kyrgios has not featured in any tournament and has not given an update of his schedule until the US Open. 

At the Grand Slam events, the Australian athlete has enjoyed more success at the Australian Open and at Wimbledon. These happen to be the only events in which he came as far as the quarterfinals. 

As there is still a great amount of tennis left in the calendar year, it will be interesting to see which tournaments Nick chooses to compete in.
