Kyrgios close to return from knee injury

Nick Kyrgios seems to be close to recovery from the serious knee injury that forced him to the sidelines from January onwards.

The 27-year old underwent an injury, which forced him to miss the Australian Open and later revealed he had suffered from a tear in his lateral meniscus and a cyst that needed to be fixed.

The Australian was back to the court on Monday following a strict regime that helped him recover properly and swiftly. Therefore, it is not long before Kyrgios returns to competitive games and gets back in the action.

Kyrgios enjoyed a fantastic second half of the 2022 year, reaching a Wimbledon final, which he lost in 4 sets to Novak Djokovic and later lifting the ATP 500 Citi Open in August and reaching the US Open 1/4 finals in September.

The 27-year old currently sits at no.25, 6 places behind top-seeded Australian Alex di Minaur. He will certainly be looking to regain his fine run of form from last year and potentially return in the top 10.
