'In the palm of my hand': Kyrgios is Open to qualifying
- On January 13, Nick Kyrgios said he will enter Australian Open qualifying rather than accept a main-draw wildcard if Tennis Australia requires it, rejecting an easy route to prove himself first.
- Following multiple serious knee and wrist injuries, Kyrgios has played only six tour matches in more than three years and now depends on wildcards for entry.
- He will play the Brisbane International next week as a wildcard and could face American world No.60 Aleksandar Kovacevic as early as Sunday, then he is slated for the Kooyong Classic from January 13 and will play doubles with Thanasi Kokkinakis.
- A Kyrgios qualifying entry would boost low-key qualifying fixtures and fulfill his pledge not to take a main-draw wildcard unless he delivers for fans, while Australian Open boss Craig Tiley says they will judge his Brisbane form before deciding.
- With recent sell-out exhibitions, Nick Kyrgios says he wants to entertain fans and prefers younger Australian players to earn wildcards rather than taking one himself.
