Nick Kyrgios getting in some match practice at Melbourne Park. Not going full bore but great to see him on court ahead of #AusOpen

Australia's Nick Kyrgios recently hit the practice nets for the first time since withdrawing from the United Cup due to an injury. The Australian ended 2022 by opting out of the inaugural United Cup due to injury concerns.
At the time of withdrawal, the Australian stated that he decided to give the tournament a miss to not hamper his chances of participation at the Australian Open 2023.
The 2022 Wimbledon finalist will soon play nine-time Australian Open winner Novak Djokovic in an exciting exhibition match to be held at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. Ahead of the eagerly anticipated match, the World No. 21 was seen practicing at Melbourne Park.
A short clip of Kyrgios' practice session was captured and posted on Twitter.
"Nick Kyrgios getting in some match practice at Melbourne Park. Not going full bore but great to see him on court ahead of Australian Open," the caption read.
However, with Djokovic opting out of his practice match with Daniil Medvedev due to an injury in the left hamstring, the Serbian's participation in the exhibition match is doubtful. The 35-year-old later stated that he withdrew midway through the match to avoid a 'bigger scare'.
