Nick Kyrgios, a former world No. 13 whose career has been repeatedly disrupted by injuries, said he was “feeling good” after claiming his first tour-level win since March 2025 at the Stuttgart Open on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old Australian showed flashes of his trademark grass-court flair, defeating France’s Corentin Moutet 6-3, 6-4 in the opening round of the Wimbledon warm-up event.
“I had wrist reconstruction. I’ve had four knee surgeries, so I’m really battling,” Kyrgios said on court. “But at the same time, I’ve put in a lot of work, and I’m really feeling good about myself.”
“Honestly, there were so many times I was thinking, ‘Why am I playing? What more do I need to do?’ And I look at you guys, and this is why I’m playing, so I’ll hang around a little longer,” he said.
“I’m pleased with the way I played today. I’m pleased with the way I’m feeling in my body. I’ve been putting in a lot of work, so I’m just really happy to be back.”
