Overview
- Following discussions with Tennis Australia, Kyrgios said he will not seek a singles wildcard or enter qualifying.
- He will partner Thanasi Kokkinakis in men’s doubles at Melbourne Park, aiming to build on their 2022 championship together.
- Kyrgios explained he is fit to compete yet not prepared to handle best-of-five singles matches.
- His call comes after a 6-3, 6-4 singles loss to Aleksandar Kovacevic in Brisbane and limited play in recent years due to wrist and knee operations, leaving his ranking near 670.
- Organisers still have three men’s singles wildcards available, with reports suggesting Stan Wawrinka is a leading candidate for one, and the tournament starts January 18.
