Nick Kyrgios is set to return to competitive tennis for the first time since late 2022, having announced his participation UTS New York, taking place between August 22 – 23 at the Forest Hills Stadium.

The event in New York will be the highly-anticipated second leg of this year’s UTS Tour, with the first instalment coming in Oslo in February.

Andrey ‘Rublo’ Rublev won that event, becoming the first player in history to win two UTS Tour titles.

Aside from a brief one-match appearance in Stuttgart in 2023, King Kyrgios – as is his UTS moniker – has not played since partnering Thanasi Kokkinakis at the season-ending ATP Finals in November 2022.

But Kyrgios today announced, via a video post on his personal Instagram account, that he is all set to play UTS New York next week.

“I want to inform anyone that keeps up with UTS, or is a tennis fan out there, that I will be competing on the 22nd August at the Forest Hills Stadium in New York,” Kyrgios said in the video.

“I know it’s been a long time. But my body’s finally ready to get back out there and have some fun.”

UTS New York kicks off next Thursday, 22 August, and runs until Friday, 23 August. You can still purchase tickets for the highly-anticipated event here.
