Nick Kyrgios Makes Shock Return to Australia's Davis Cup Team After Five Years

The 29-year-old, sidelined by injuries since 2022, joins a strong Australian squad for their Stockholm tie against Sweden later this month.

Nick Kyrgios has been named in Australia's Davis Cup team for the first time since 2019, surprising many after years of injuries and limited competition.
The Australian team, captained by Lleyton Hewitt, includes Alex de Minaur, Jordan Thompson, and Thanasi Kokkinakis alongside Kyrgios for the tie against Sweden on January 31 and February 1 in Stockholm.
Kyrgios' fitness remains uncertain after wrist surgery in 2023 and a recent loss at the Brisbane International, where he expressed doubts about competing in the upcoming Australian Open.
The inclusion raises hopes of rekindling his successful doubles partnership with Kokkinakis, with whom he won the Australian Open men’s doubles title in 2022.
Australia, last year's Davis Cup semi-finalists, will face a Swedish team led by lower-ranked players, making them the favorites for the tie.
