Tennis: Alex de Minaur will have his work cut out for him at Wimbledon, with the World No.9 facing a tricky draw.

Kyrgios’ comeback plan revealed; Aussie bolter’s big call after $120k fairytale — Wimbledon Talking PtsA year after he withdrew from Wimbledon, Nick Kyrgios is back at the All England Club and will join former world No. 1 Ash Barty in the commentary box during the Championships.

The 2022 Wimbledon finalist withdrew from last year’s Championships on the eve of the tournament citing a wrist complaint and subsequently underwent specialist surgery in Adelaide last September. In an interview with uts.live conducted this week, the Canberran said he wanted to give fans the “Nick Kyrgios experience” once again.

“But I’m also doing training during these two weeks. I’m trying to have some hits with the players that are here to see where my wrist is at. It’s been 10 months since my surgery, so I’ll try to work my way back onto court. One of three Australian debutants at Wimbledon in 2024, the Sydneysider took in an honour roll featuring the greats and was delighted to come across a photograph of Scott Draper.

This is an unofficial part of one of the locker rooms at Wimbledon – there is a separate room for seeded players and former champions – where generations of Aussie men have had the tales of former glory passed on to them. Hijikata, who attended the University of North Carolina, will play Italian Flavio Cobolli in the opening round.

The 31-year-old, who underwent elbow surgery a couple of years ago and then battled osteitis pubis last year, said the extraordinary circumstances may have worked in his favour when he played Nicolas Kicker a week ago. After winning through qualifying, which included overcoming a two set deficit and a match point in the final round, Bolt drew three-time major finalist Casper Ruud in the first round.
