Kyrgios confirmed for Wimbledon warm-up in Halle. He’s played one match in 2026 and remains unranked after wrist and knee injuries...

Former Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios, who has not played a competitive singles match since January, will take part in this year’s Halle grass-court tournament in June, organisers said on Monday.

The 30-year-old, who has struggled for years with a series of wrist and knee injuries, is a major crowd-puller but does not currently hold a singles ranking. The Halle tournament is a traditional warm-up event for Wimbledon.

  

The Australian’s only singles match of the year was a straight-sets first-round loss to American Aleksandar Kovacevic in Brisbane in January.

  

Kyrgios, who reached the Wimbledon final in 2022, has played just seven singles matches between January 2023 and April 2026.

Kyrgios said earlier this year he would compete in several grass-court events, skipping the clay season that precedes them. The Halle tournament will run from June 13 to 21.

  

Wimbledon, the third Grand Slam of the year, starts on June 29.

“Nick Kyrgios has been one of the most dazzling personalities in world tennis for ‌years,” Halle tournament organisers said in a statement.

“The Australian is known for his exceptional playing style, characterised by one of the best serves on the tour, spectacular winners, and great creativity.

“At the same time, his emotional personality and charisma attract considerable attention far beyond ‌the sport.”
