Nick Kyrgios is gearing up for a potential return to the tennis courts after an extended absence due to various injuries, including wrist, knee, and foot issues. Kyrgios, who missed all four Grand Slam tournaments in 2023 and has only played one ATP Tour match since October 2022, is set to make his comeback at the Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) event in New York later this month.
The Australian tennis star will participate in this unique event at the Forest Hills Stadium, where he is scheduled to face Casper Ruud on the first day. While the UTS is not an official ATP event, it marks Kyrgios’ first significant public appearance on the tennis court in nearly a year. This appearance has sparked interest among fans, particularly because Kyrgios has previously hinted at retirement. However, his participation in the UTS could be the first step towards a full return to competitive tennis.
Kyrgios has also mentioned the possibility of playing doubles tournaments to test his fitness before fully committing to a comeback on the ATP Tour (Tennis365) (Tennisuptodate.com).
