According to reports, Nick Kyrgios will play at Roland Garros after missing much of this year due to a knee injury and surgery he had around the time of the Australian Open.

Nick Kyrgios made a promise last year to play at the 2023 Roland Garros which surprised many people considering that he really doesn't like to play on the surface. He explained the decision as a favour to his girlfriend who really wants to see Paris and according to reports it seems like it's really going to happen.

Kyrgios has been out since January after undergoing a knee procedure back home in Australia. Nobody knew when he would return as his team didn't comment on his comeback however a tennis official familiar with the situation anonymously confirmed that Kyrgios is likely to make his return in Paris.
