Is Nick Kyrgios playing at the US Open? Latest updates and news

Kyrgios will not play at the US Open in 2024.

It marks the second year in a row the Australian will be absent from the Flushing Meadows tournament.

He has struggled with wrist, knee and foot injuries in the past few years.

Kyrgios’ last competitive match was in June 2023, when he lost to China’s Wu Yibing in Stuttgart.

His most recent grand slam tournament appearance came at the US Open – a quarter-final with Karen Khachanov in 2022.

The 29-year-old started hitting again earlier this year but has still not put a timeline on his return due to the seriousness of his injuries.

“It’s arguably been one of the hardest years of my life tennis-wise,” Kyrgios told the Australian Open Show podcast in April.

“I’ve had some really hard conversations with myself, if I want to keep doing this.

“So I know there’s still fire in the belly, which is good, it’s healthy … I definitely will be coming back.

“It’s just hard to put an exact date on it because the injury was quite severe.”

In promising signs, he was recently seen hitting with Novak Djokovic on the practice courts at Wimbledon.

Despite his inactivity on the pro circuit, Kyrgios has been busy in the media space.

He was part of the BBC’s broadcast team for the past Wimbledon tournament, following his work with Eurosport at the Australian Open.

The Canberra-born talent also hosts his own podcast Good Trouble With Nick Kyrgios.

What is Nick Kyrgios’ record at the US Open?

Kyrgios hasn’t had much success at Flushing Meadows.

Until his 2022 quarter-final, he had never made it past the third round, bowing out in the first round five times prior.

Nick Kyrgios ranking

Kyrgios does not have a rank in singles or doubles due to his inactivity.

He did hold a protected ranking of No. 21 due to his long-term injury problems, however, that expired in March this year.

Once he does return to the court, he will likely be granted wildcards into certain tournaments.

When is the 2024 US Open?

The 2024 edition of the US Open will begin on August 19 with the main draw of the men’s and women’s singles.

It will wrap up on September 8 – the day of the men’s singles final.
