Former Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios won his first tour-level match since 2022 at the Miami Open. He beat American Mackenzie McDonald in his first-round match in Florida to set up a clash with Russian Karen Khachanov. The Australian lost the opening set but recovered well to secure a satisfying win 3-6 6-3 6-4.
Kyrgios now sits at 892 in the world rankings and came into this tournament after an early exit at Indian Wells. He has struggled with injuries over the past couple of years but is determined to remain in the sport if his body allows him to.
