Nick Kyrgios has reiterated his support of Novak Djokovic in light of the 24-time grand slam champion's recent claims he was "poisoned" while in hotel quarantine.

Nick Kyrgios shared some disappointing news as the Australian tennis star is out of his exhibition match with Novak Djokovic due to an abdominal issue. On Thursday, the 2022 Wimbledon finalists were scheduled to meet during the "A Night With Novak" event at Melbourne Park.

Kyrgios, who revealed after his singles comeback on Tuesday that he is still struggling with pain in the wrist that has kept him out for 18 months, produced two through-the-legs shots in one memorable rally, and he and Djokovic looked poised for victory at 8-6 ahead in the deciding tie-break.

After playing only one match in 2023 and 2024, Nick Kyrgios is back in action. The former Major finalist returned to action in Brisbane. The Aussie suffered a tight singles loss to Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and joined forces with Novak Djokovic.

This week, the 2025 tennis season began with Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios revisiting the subject of doping. Elsewhere, Naomi Osaka discussed longevity vs. quality and the returning Belinda Bencic got a reality check for the good.

After all the talk and bluster, Nick Kyrgios finally returned to the court for a professional tennis match. Kyrgios missed the better part of two years due to injuries and returned in style alongside Novak Djokovic for a highly publicized doubles match.

Nick Kyrgios made his long-awaited return to tennis at the Brisbane International earlier this week, where he is teaming up with Novak Djokovic.

Nick Kyrgios has reignited the debate on revenue sharing in the world of tennis. A very sensitive topic that always generates in-depth discussions. Novak Djokovic, after the match won against Gael Monfils at the Brisbane International, was questioned on the subject and expressed his point of view by developing a very long speech.

Nick Kyrgios has been struck down by yet another injury on the eve of his return to grand slam tennis. The Australian former world No.13 was due to play Novak Djokovic in an exhibition match on Thursday, in the lead-up to his first Australian Open since 2022, but has withdrawn due to an abdominal injury.
