Controversial Australian star Nick Kyrgios believes his Grand Slam return has come at the right time because tennis has become “a bit mundane”.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 29-year-old is set to make his return at the upcoming Australian Open following a series of injuries – including a wrist problem which he feared would end his career.<\/p>\n

The former world number 13 has not played at a major since the 2022 US Open.<\/p>\n

“I think we watch sport because we want personalities,” said Kyrgios.<\/p>\n

“Me being back, I think it adds a bit of question marks to what is going to happen today. I love that. <\/p>\n

“Every time I step out on court, I don’t know if I’m going to be super controversial in a good or bad way.”<\/p>\n

He added: “I think it’s good to be back. I think it’s important. I think the sport was getting a bit mundane.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
