Aussie tennis star Nick Kyrgios is in contention to be selected in Team World's squad for the 2023 Laver Cup.
The top three players for Team Europe and Team World, according to the ATP rankings released on July 17, 2023, the Monday after Wimbledon, receive an automatic invitation to the Laver Cup.

Kyrgios is currently ranked 19th in the world, which is fourth among players who are eligible to represent the team captained by John McEnroe.
The Laver Cup' s Instagram page shared an image of the Top 5 rankings among players eligible to represent Team Europe and Team World. While their post was intended to congratulate Novak Djokovic on reaching a record 378th week as World No. 1, Nick Kyrgios shared it on his Instagram story and captioned it:
"I think I play the least definitely."

Kyrgios has been a regular at the Laver Cup, representing Team World in each of the first four editions of the tournament. The Aussie had a 1-2 record in the 2017 edition, beating Tomas Berdych and losing to Roger Federer. He also lost his doubles fixture against Berdych and Rafael Nadal, with Jack Sock as his partner.
In 2018, Kyrgios lost both of his singles matches to Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic but won his doubles clash against Grigor Dimitrov and David Goffin while partnering Jack Sock. The Aussie-American duo were victorious again at the 2019 Laver Cup as they beat Rafael Nadal and Stefanos Tsitsipas. Kyrgios, however, lost his singles match against Roger Federer.
The 2021 Laver Cup was a disappointing one for the Australian as he lost both of his matches.

Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
