Nick Kyrgios Targets Wimbledon, Plans June Grass Tune-Ups as He Expands Into Pickleball

The plan signals a careful, injury-shaped comeback paired with a push into pickleball.

Overview

  • Kyrgios told Tennishead he is working toward Wimbledon and intends to play Stuttgart and Mallorca in June as grass-court preparation.
  • He said Roland Garros is unlikely for him this year, though he left open a possible clay return next year.
  • He is deepening his role in pickleball through partnerships with The Picklr and Vulcan and a new Vulcan CHPT01 paddle tailored to his aggressive style.
  • He argued pickleball is not a threat to tennis and suggested joint events to draw younger fans to both sports, which he described as distinct.
  • He has managed only one competitive singles match in 2026 due to recurring injuries, setting expectations for a cautious return.
