Nick Kyrgios has confirmed he will play at the Mallorca Championships in June and said “grass is my favourite surface”.
The grass court ATP 250 tournament is scheduled to be held from June 20 to 26, the week before Wimbledon starts.
“Super excited to be coming to Mallorca. Have never had the opportunity to play there before and I’m really excited,” Kyrgios said in a video posted on the event’s Twitter feed.
“I haven’t played much tennis. Grass is my favourite surface. So, to be coming to Spain, Mallorca, I’m super excited to go there. See what I can do, and hopefully we can create some memories there.”
