Kyrgios, struggling with fitness, included in Australia’s Davis Cup squad
The HinduFormer Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios has been unexpectedly included in Australia’s team for its Davis Cup clash against Sweden at the end of the month. The 29-year-old was selected by captain Lleyton Hewitt alongside world number eight Alex de Minaur, Jordan Thompson and Thanasi Kokkinakis in the Australian line-up for the clash in Stockholm on January 31 and February 1. Kyrgios has been picked despite struggling for fitness since 2022 due to knee, foot and wrist injuries while his participation in the Australian Open, which starts on Sunday, remains uncertain. Kyrgios’ inclusion in the Davis Cup squad could see him rekindle his doubles partnership with Kokkinakis, with whom he won the men’s doubles title at the Australian Open three years ago.
