Nick Kyrgios recibe wild card para Melbourne

Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios will kick off his 2022 season with a wild card at the Melborune ATP 250 to be held the first week of the year.

Without being able to enter directly

Being in position No. 93 of the ranking, his classification did not serve him to be able to directly access this table that is cut with No. 80 of Kevin Anderson. The invitation granted to Kyrgios could be perceived since he had not signed up to the list of the previous phase. Being able to have its place there. The Melbourne tournament, I did not want to speculate and that Kyrgios was left out ‘earlier than expected’ and with which, we will have it from January 3.

His last season starts

Last year the season began within this tournament that was cataloged Melbourne 2 since two appointments were played in the same week. He had a ranking to enter and reached the round of 16 where he was surpassed by Borna Coric. In 2020, however, he was a member of the Australian ATP Cup team, something that will not happen in 2022 and was vital in sending his nation to the semifinals defeating Struff, Tsitsipas, y Norrie before losing in the semifinals to Roberto Bautista.

A spectacular start to 2018

However, we have to go back to 2018 to witness his best start to the season. One of the six titles that he has in his record was harvested within the first week of competition at the ATP 250 in Brisbane. A highly contested tournament where in his first three games he had to come back, having always lost the first set. In that third that was within the semifinals, he was facing the one who was then the No.3 in the world, Grigor Dimitrov. He beat him to later in the final, reap the title in the calmest match of the week against Ryan Harrison. Two weeks later, he reached the round of 16 of the Australian Open, and the Bulgarian Dimitrov, found his revenge.

Therefore, this wild card for Kyrgios in Melbourne may be interesting as he has shown to have a good start to the season.
