Nick Kyrgios confirms link-up with Novak Djokovic and teases 'back on court' in double announcement

Australian Nick Kyrgios may be recuperating from injury, but that hasn't stopped the tennis star from providing fresh content for the tennis community, as he announced World No.1 Novak Djokovic would be the next guest on his podcast.

Kyrgios has been plagued by injuries over the last year, playing just one tennis match since October 2022. The former Wimbledon World No.13 underwent two knee surgeries and has had to overcome a torn knee ligament, as he battles to keep his professional tennis hopes alive.

Despite his absence from competition, Kyrgios has maintained a strong presence on the ATP Tour. The 28-year old has been ramping up his media appearances, working for Eurosport during the Australian Open. Additionally, he has also set up a podcast, Good Trouble, and he recently announced that 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic would be his next guest.

"Next guest on Good Trouble - Novak Djokovic. Tennis footage - Tuesday next week! BACK ON COURT!”, wrote Kyrgios on Twitter.

Fans of the Aussie star will be delighted to know that Kyrgios will be competing at the Ultimate Tennis Showdown this summer, which is scheduled to take place from August 23-24, 2024. However, he could make a return to the circuit before then, as he implied during the Australian Open that he would like to participate at this year's Wimbledon Championships.
