MELBOURNE (Reuters) -Former Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios has signalled his intention to play at next year's Australian Open by signing up for the Kooyong Classic warm-up exhibition event.

The mercurial 30-year-old Australian has been ravaged by career-threatening injuries over the last couple of years and played only five singles matches in the 2025 season, the most recent at the Miami Open in March.
