Nick Kyrgios has been struck down by yet another injury on the eve of his return to grand slam tennis. The Australian former world No.13 was due to play Novak Djokovic in an exhibition match on Thursday, in the lead-up to his first Australian Open since 2022, but has withdrawn due to an abdominal injury.

After playing only one match in 2023 and 2024, Nick Kyrgios is back in action. The former Major finalist returned to action in Brisbane. The Aussie suffered a tight singles loss to Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and joined forces with Novak Djokovic.

After all the talk and bluster, Nick Kyrgios finally returned to the court for a professional tennis match. Kyrgios missed the better part of two years due to injuries and returned in style alongside Novak Djokovic for a highly publicized doubles match.

Nick Kyrgios has withdrawn from an exhibition event with Novak Djokovic scheduled for Thursday due to an abdominal strain, casting more doubt on the former Wimbledon finalist's chances of making his Australian Open comeback this month.
