Nick Kyrgios is set to return to tennis during the clay court swing, after not competing since the Australian Open.
The Australian didn’t play singles at his home Grand Slam, instead opting to focus on doubles alongside Thanasi Kokkinakis.
Kyrgios announced plans to play grass court events this year and a wild card for the Stuttgart Open swiftly followed.
The controversial star has now added another grass court event to his schedule, one which he hasn’t played for four years.
Nick Kyrgios set to play grass court event
The Mallorca Open has announced that it has given Kyrgios a wild card for their event in June, just one week before Wimbledon.
The Spanish event is one of the newer events on the ATP Tour calendar, having only been held five times before.
The likes of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev have lifted the trophy and Kyrgios has only played the event once before.
He entered the 2022 tournament, where he defeated Laslo Djere in the first round before succumbing to injury.
The Australian gave Roberto Bautista Agut a walkover in the next round and the event was eventually won by Tsitsipas.
Kyrgios is clearly gearing up for a big grass court season, but it is currently unclear if he will receive a Wimbledon wild card.
The star has previously played his best tennis at SW19 and he famously reached the final of the Grand Slam back in 2022.
Nick Kyrgios’ record on grass
Kyrgios has always excelled on grass and his 36–19 on the surface makes it his joint-best, alongside hard court.
The star has 65% on grass, which is the same he has managed on hard court, although he has played far more matches on the latter.
What would be a successful season for Nick Kyrgios in 2026?
However, Kyrgios’ appearance in the Wimbledon final in 2022 is the only time he made it to the final stage of a tournament on the surface.
The Australian is far from the player he used to be, but if he can return to some semblance of the form we’ve seen from him on grass, he could excel in Mallorca and Stuttgart.
Both events are ATP 250s, so the elite of the Tour will be very unlikely to play the tournaments.
