Nick Kyrgios to begin preparations for Australian Open with ATP Tour wildcard entry

  • Nick Kyrgios has received a wild card entry into the Brisbane International, confirming his ATP Tour return after nine months and targeting his 11th Australian Open main draw after a comeback announced last month.
  • Beset by injuries, Nick Kyrgios has played just six ATP Tour matches in more than three years after knee and wrist surgeries, and suffered an abdominal strain at this year’s Open.
  • Using exhibitions like the Dubai match, Kyrgios reports, `I don't know whether to call it a miracle or anything, but my knee feels like it's gotten younger by a couple of years` after sessions with his physio and masseuse.
  • He will follow Brisbane by contesting the Kooyong Classic in Melbourne from January 13-15, with Australian Open organisers expected to lock in wildcards before January 12 qualifying.
  • Commercially, Kyrgios remains valuable to promoters as Cameron Pearson, Brisbane International tournament director, said he will be a major drawcard with strong crowd interest, and his off-court portfolio and sponsors still attract attention.
