Nick Kyrgios had hoped to play Wimbledon in 2025, but was forced to withdraw due to injury.
The 30-year-old picked up an injury before the grass-court season, which led to Kyrgios withdrawing from Wimbledon.
Kyrgios had already skipped the French Open in June as fans await the Aussie’s return to Grand Slam action.
Working as a pundit for TalkSport at Wimbledon this year, the 2022 finalist continues to be involved with tennis.
It may not be too long until we see him back on the court, however, as Kyrgios now reveals when he plans to return.
Nick Kyrgios plans to return for the US hard-court swing
Speaking to Former doubles number one Jamie Murray on ‘Wimbledon Unfiltered with Nick Kyrgios’, the world number 637 updated fans on his injury status.
“Well, I was supposed to be back for Wimbledon, but I had a bit of a knee niggle three weeks ago, so just trying to get back for the US swing,” said Kyrgios.
“I think we’re both in the twilight of our careers, but look, I really want to come back, I’m hitting the ball great.
“Had a bit of a session today, feeling good.”
The US swing Kyrgios is referring to begins in Washington later this month and finishes at Flushing Meadows in September.
| Tournament | Tier | Dates | 2024 Champion |
| Washington Open | ATP 500 | July 21- July 27 | Sebastian Korda |
| Canadian Open | Masters 1000 | July 28 – August 4 | Alexei Popyrin |
| Cincinnati Open | Masters 1000 | August 4 – August 11 | Jannik Sinner |
| Winston-Salem Open | ATP 250 | August 18 – August 23 | Lorenzo Sonego |
| US Open | Grand Slam | August 24 – September 1 | Jannik Sinner |
Kyrgios has enjoyed real success at those tournaments over the years, winning the Washington Open on two occasions and reaching the Cincinnati Open final in 2017.
- 2017 Cincinnati Open F – Nick Kyrgios lost to Grigor Dimitrov
- 2019 Washington Open F – Nick Kyrgios beat Daniil Medvedev
- 2022 Washington Open F – Nick Kyrgios beat Yoshihito Nishioka
If he can recover from injury in time, what better place to return than Washington, a tournament Kyrgios has won twice before.
Regardless of where he returns, Kyrgios will no doubt hope to start racking up the wins on the ATP Tour before too long.
Has Nick Kyrgios won a singles match in 2025?
Playing his first competitive match in over a year, Kyrgios returned to tennis at the Brisbane International, where he lost in three tight sets to big-server Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.
Another defeat followed in Melbourne, when Kyrgios lost to Jacob Fearnley 6-7, 3-6, 6-7.
Beginning his year with an 0-3 run, Kyrgios retired down 6-7, 0-3, to Botic van de Zandschulp at Indian Wells.
It was at his next tournament that Kyrgios finally returned to winning ways, when he took to the court for his opening match at the Miami Open.
After dropping the first set 3-6, Kyrgios fought back to beat Mackenzie McDonald 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to book his place in round two.
Having secured his first win in 895 days, Kyrgios was unable to back it up in the second round, as he fell to Karen Khachanov 6-7, 0-6.
He hasn’t played another match on tour since, as Kyrgios currently has a 1-4 record in 2025.
| Match | Opponent | Result | Score |
| 2025 Brisbane International – 1R | Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard | Loss | 6-7, 7-6, 6-7 |
| 2025 Australian Open – 1R | Jacob Fearnley | Loss | 6-7, 3-6, 6-7 |
| 2025 Indian Wells – 1R | Botic van de Zandschulp | Loss | 6-7, 0-3 (RET) |
| 2025 Miami Open – 1R | Mackenzie McDonald | Win | 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 |
| 2025 Miami Open – 2R | Karen Khachanov | Loss | 6-7, 0-6 |
With just 50 ATP points to his name, Kyrgios is currently ranked 637th in the world, a long way from his career-high ranking of 13th.
Only time will tell if Kyrgios can shoot back up the rankings when he returns later this year, but it will most certainly be worth tuning in for.
Kyrgios may well return at the Washington Open ATP 500 event, which is scheduled to begin on Monday, July 21.
