Nick Kyrgios is in line to play his first ATP Tour match in 10 months after being given a wildcard entry for next month’s Brisbane International.

Fitness issues have restricted the Australian to just five singles matches in 2025, with his most recent a second-round defeat to Karen Khachanov at the Miami Open in March.

Before Brisbane, he will return to the limelight when he faces women’s world number one Aryna Sabalenka in a Battle of the Sexes-style exhibition match on 28 December.

The match, which has divided opinion, will be shown live on BBC One.
