Kyrgios will only participate in the Australian Open 2026 if he is granted a wildcard into the main tournament.
He hasn't received one yet but given his capacity to generate headlines, the Australian open organisers are probably going to give him one.
If his body holds up through the Brisbane International, which starts on January 4, he will probably be given one.
The next game for Nick Kyrgios is Brisbane International.
Kyrgios received a wildcard to the Brisbane International where he will compete in the main draw on January 4 following his victory over Aryna Sabalenka in Battle of the Sexes.
