Kyrgios Granted Halle Wildcard for June Grass Return

The German start gives the unranked 2022 Wimbledon finalist a platform to press for a Wimbledon wild card.

Overview

  • Tournament organisers in Halle said Monday they had awarded Nick Kyrgios a singles wildcard for the grass event, which runs June 13–21.
  • He also holds a wildcard for Stuttgart’s Boss Open, played the previous week from June 8–14.
  • The 30-year-old has not competed in singles since a January loss to Aleksandar Kovacevic in Brisbane and currently has no ranking after long-running wrist and knee injuries.
  • He chose to skip the European clay swing to focus on grass events that can show his fitness and form.
  • Wimbledon begins June 29, with initial invitations due June 17, so his showings in Germany could shape any wild-card call.
