Kyrgios to make Grand Slam return in Australia

Nick Kyrgios has used his protected ranking to secure a place in the main draw of January's Australian Open.

Kyrgios, 29, has not played at a Grand Slam since September 2022 when he lost in the quarter-finals of the US Open.

Britons Jack Draper, Cameron Norrie, Katie Boulter, Emma Raducanu, Sonay Kartal and Jodie Burrage have also been confirmed on the main draw list.

The Australian Open begins on 12 January.

A series of knee, foot and wrist injuries have interrupted Kyrgios' career over the past two years.

The Australian has not competed since June 2023 but he is planning a return to action at the World Tennis League event in Abu Dhabi from 19-22 December.
