Nick Kyrgios is back on the tennis court

Holger Rune (7 ATP) announced that he will fight the 2022 Wimbledon finalist in an exhibition match on May 24 in Copenhagen.

“As a tennis fan, the more attention tennis gets in Denmark, the more I like it. The demonstration in Copenhagen with myself and Nick Kyrgios on May 24 helps even more. It’s a great feeling to get more people into tennis and this match will help.” – Rune of Holgerquoted by Tennis Majors.

It remains to be seen whether Nick will hit the court earlier, given that he has repeatedly expressed his desire to compete at Roland Garros 2023.

Kyrgios will be part of the World Team for the 2023 Laver Cup, an event to be held in Vancouver (September 22-24).​
