Nick Kyrgios on track to be fit for grass-court season and Wimbledon bid

Nick Kyrgios is expected to be fit for the grass-court season as he continues his recovery from knee surgery.

The 28-year-old is yet to play a match this season, having pulled out of the Australian Open on the verge of the tournament with a cyst in his left knee that required an operation.

The hope at that point was he could be fit to return in Indian Wells at the start of March but, more than two months on, Kyrgios is still working his way back.

A vocal hater of clay, he had planned to play the French Open for the first time since 2017, citing his girlfriend's wish to go to Paris, but he will not be ready in time.

<p>We understand Kyrgios is, though, on course to be fit for his favourite part of the season, the grass-court swing, and could make his return at the BOSS OPEN in Stuttgart beginning on June 12.</p>

Last year Kyrgios had the best season of his career, establishing himself as a grand slam contender and reaching his first singles final at Wimbledon, where he was beaten by Novak Djokovic.

The Australian also reached the quarter-finals of the US Open before pulling out of his most recent tournament in Tokyo last October with knee pain.
