Briton Jacob Fearnley might be forgiven for having a sinking feeling after seeing his name bracketed with Nick Kyrgios in the first round of the Australian Open. Matches against Kyrgios can be a fraught experience at any time but playing the volatile Australian on his favourite showcourt at Melbourne Park is another level of harrowing.

Nick Kyrgios wants to shake up “mundane” tennis again as he prepares for an emotional Australian Open return. The 29-year-old is set to play in his home grand slam for the first time in three years following knee and wrist surgeries that cast serious doubt over whether he would ever be back.

Nick Kyrgios promised Jannik Sinner that he would turn their match into “an absolute riot” should the feuding pair meet at the Australian Open.

Nick Kyrgios risks having to miss the Australian Open 2025 - which will start on Sunday 12 January - due to a new physical problem. The Australian tennis player has communicated to fans, through an Instagram story, how he is struggling with another type of injury that is quite serious and will have to be monitored in the coming days.

Nick Kyrgios returns to the Australian Open and plays Britain’s Jacob Fearnley in his first match at the tournament in three years. The controversial Australian has been sidelined for most of the past two years following knee and wrist surgeries - and claims the sport has been “mundane” in his absence.
