Nick Kyrgios underwent knee surgery and according to his agent, it was a great success and he should return to the tennis courts very soon.

The 27-year-old Australian was forced to pull out of the 2023 Australian Open, and therefore, he couldn't challenge for the singles title, neither could he defend his doubles triumph with Thanasi Kokkinakis. But Kyrgios made a decision that should be beneficial for him in long term, and right now it appears to be a success.

His agent, Daniel Horsfall provided an update about the recovery process of the 2022 Wimbledon finalist, speaking to the Australian newspapers The Herald and The Age.

“The surgery was a great success. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome of it. Now we will be pushing ahead for a speedy recovery and are aiming to see everyone at Indian Wells.”

The tournament in Indian Wells is the first ATP 1000 event in the calendar, and it starts on the 8 March.

But on a more serious note, Will [physiotherapist Will Maher] and NK will be in the gym still working on the rest of his body to make sure he stays fit and fresh in the meantime.”
