Nick Kyrgios, return to the court is decidedly bitter

He had not played an official singles match on the circuit since June 2023

After mesmerizing, in doubles, with Djokovic, Kyrgios hoped to celebrate his return to the court in a singles match with a victory. His last appearance in an ATP tournament was on June 13, 2023. Unfortunately, his long-awaited return to the circuit has not è been positive.

The Australian, in the first round of the Brisbane tournament (thus at home), è had to surrender to Pericard. The Frenchman è imposed himself with the following partials: 7-6, 6-7, 7-6. In fact, match decided by three tie-breaks with Kyrgios losing the decisive one 7-3. In total, there were as many as 51 aces and very few exchanges.

In short, after spending so much time posting "strong" statements on social media, Kyrgios è returned to play a match but the result was not as hoped. However, as reiterated by the Wimbledon finalist himself in 2022, "… è already è a miracle to be here playing".

Of course, after the defeat, Kyrgios è immediately catapulted to his own social media. This time, no contestation against Sinner, but congratulations to Perricard: "What a battle, this guy (Perricard, ed.) will beà a problem for a long time", the Australian's words, who pointed out the three tie-breaks and 51 aces of the match.
