looking forward to returning to the tour during this year\u2019s grass-court season and is targeting a \u2018really, really high level\u2019 of tennis.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian hasn\u2019t competed in a professional singles match since he lost to Aleksandar Kovacevic in the first round of the Brisbane International earlier this season.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/nick-kyrgios\">Kyrgios<\/a> has struggled to stick to a consistent schedule since suffering knee discomfort prior to the 2023 Australian Open, going on to tear a wrist ligament later that year \u2013 an issue which required surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, he began his comeback in Australia and later notched his first victory since 2022 at the Miami Open against Mackenzie McDonald.<\/p>\n<p>After falling in the next round, the Australian \u2013 once again \u2013 suffered knee discomfort, which derailed his plans for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the lack of matches, the former world No 13 believes that he can rediscover a \u2018really, really high level\u2019 of tennis later this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe clay court and I have an interesting relationship \u2013 maybe not this year, but next year is a possibility,\u201d revealed the Australian during an interview with Tennishead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m working toward Wimbledon and will be playing in Stuttgart and Mallorca this June.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust want to give a quick shoutout to Mallorca, I can\u2019t wait to come there to the tournament this year. It\u2019s one of my favourite events, the fans are amazing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t wait to be back on the grass playing some really, really high-level tennis.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/wta-tour\/iga-swiateks-ex-coach-wim-fissette-delivers-candid-verdict-first-interview-split\">Iga Swiatek\u2019s ex-coach Wim Fissette delivers candid verdict in first interview since split<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\/monte-carlo-masters-draw-carlos-alcaraz-stan-wawrinka-jannik-sinner-alexander-zverev\">Monte Carlo Masters draw: Alcaraz could face three-time major champion as Sinner lands in Zverev, Medvedev half<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In addition to his Brisbane campaign, in January, he also participated in both the men\u2019s doubles and mixed doubles categories at the Australian Open.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside Thanasi Kokkinakis, he lost to Marc Polmans and Jason Kubler in a nail-biting first-round contest.<\/p>\n<p>In the mixed event, he teamed up with Leylah Fernandez, where they were victorious in their opening match, before falling short against James Tracy and Anna Danilina.<\/p>\n<p>Kyrgios\u2019 career highlights include seven ATP singles titles, a Wimbledon final (2022), and six victories over Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, he is just the third player to beat the famous Big Three on their first attempt, after Dominik Hrbaty and Lleyton Hewitt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll I do now is play for the fans,\u201d remarked Kyrgios during his recent appearance on the Nothing Major podcast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still have a massive following. Now, I just enjoy going out there for the fans and putting on a crazy show, seeing the kids out there, that\u2019s basically why I\u2019m playing now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI played finals of Wimbledon a couple of years ago, and I played Novak Djokovic in the final. I won the first set, I\u2019m right there, two sets away from basically becoming immortal in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think about it every day, it still bothers me, and I still get asked about it. I got so close\u2026 I think about it, and I feel like now, I\u2019m not physically, I\u2019ve had four surgeries, three surgeries in the last couple of years. So I feel my body isn\u2019t as elite as it used to be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know what happens when you start declining physically and athletically? You know that your level is still there a little bit, but you can\u2019t back it up as frequently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c In tennis, to win a Grand Slam, that\u2019s all everyone cares about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou could have an amazing season, but at the end of the day, if you don\u2019t have a Grand Slam, you\u2019ll be forgotten. I was right there, and I just didn\u2019t capitalise on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, I\u2019m still playing, but whether or not I\u2019ll have that opportunity again, I\u2019m not sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Mallorca Championships, which should mark Kyrgios\u2019 return, takes place from June 21 \u2013 27 on the grass courts of the Mallorca Country Club.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nick Kyrgios details French Open and Wimbledon plans, seeks a \u2018really, really high level of tennis\u2019 on return Oliver Paton 04 Apr 2026 6:30 PM Nick Kyrgios on the comeback trail Nick Kyrgios has revealed that he is looking forward to returning to the tour during this year\u2019s grass-court season and is targeting a \u2018really, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-1865866","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1865866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1865866"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1865866\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1865866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1865866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1865866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
