Nick Kyrgios Locks in Tournament as Preparation for Australian Open
Kyrgios, ranked 666th, aims to regain form with exhibitions including Kooyong Classic, US matches, and Dubai event before the Australian Open, after multiple surgeries.
- Kyrgios signed up for the Kooyong Classic, which runs January 13 to 15, as preparation for the Australian Open, Kooyong tournament director Peter Johnston confirmed.
- Because he is now ranked 666, Kyrgios's protected ranking expired on November 10, and he will rely on wildcards for summer events, including the Australian Open.
- Ahead of Kooyong, Kyrgios will play US exhibitions next month against Ben Shelton and Tommy Paul, and a Dubai 'Battle of the Sexes' on December 28 against Aryna Sabalenka.
- Given his Brisbane International title and fan appeal, wildcards are likely if requested because Kyrgios is a former champion and perennial crowd favourite, Kooyong organisers say.
- With Kooyong running January 15, 2025, Kyrgios hopes this event will be his final fitness test before the Australian Open starts January 18.
