Kyrgios, 29, who has had a horror run of wrist and knee injuries, will play at the Brisbane International from 29 December, before returning to the grand slam stage at Melbourne Park for the Australian Open which starts on 12 January. The former world No 13 is using a protected ranking for his first Open since he pulled out on the eve of his first-round match in 2023.
