Britain's Jacob Fearnley is set to face Nick Kyrgios - and a partisan home crowd - in the controversial Australian's return to Grand Slam tennis.

Britain’s Jacob Fearnley was handed a blockbuster Australian Open debut against Nick Kyrgios. Scot Fearnley was still at college in the United States during last year’s tournament but has rocketed up to 86 in the world after a stunning start to his professional tennis career, which included taking a set off Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon.

Nick Kyrgios faces another injury setback in his planned return to Grand Slam tennis at the Australian Open after an abdominal strain forced him to withdraw from an exhibition with Novak Djokovic this week.

Nick Kyrgios risks having to miss the Australian Open 2025 - which will start on Sunday 12 January - due to a new physical problem. The Australian tennis player has communicated to fans, through an Instagram story, how he is struggling with another type of injury that is quite serious and will have to be monitored in the coming days.

Nick Kyrgios says his abdominal strain is "not too serious" and he is doing everything he can to be fit for the Australian Open.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has relocated February's tri-nation One-Day International (ODI) series with New Zealand and South Africa from Multan to Lahore and Karachi, two cities set to host the Champions Trophy later in the month.

Nick Kyrgios ’s return to the Australian Open has been thrown into doubt amid a fresh injury scare. The Australian, who reached the Wimbledon final in 2022, returned to action in Brisbane last week after playing only one singles match since October 2022 following knee and wrist surgeries.
