Nick Kyrgios is planning to make a comeback to tennis in 2025 and has some fresh ideas on how to improve the sport. After being away from the game due to serious wrist and ankle injuries, he’s set to participate in his second tournament in two years at next season’s Brisbane International. Despite being told he had only a 15% chance of returning to professional tennis after wrist surgery, he’s defied the odds and is ready for action.
While recovering, Kyrgios tried his hand at commentary during major tournaments like the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. People really liked his insights during these matches. However, not everyone is thrilled with him; Andrea Petkovic criticized him for making “misogynist nonsense” comments about Jannik Sinner‘s girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya on social media .
Kyrgios recently shared five ideas on The Sit-Down Podcast that he thinks would make tennis more exciting for fans across the globe. Fans might find these suggestions interesting or even controversial!

One idea Kyrgios has is changing Grand Slam matches so that they are best-of-three sets until the quarterfinals. He believes this could lead to more surprises early on because it gives less experienced players a better shot at progressing further before facing tougher challenges in best-of-five battles.
He also suggests focusing solely on mixed doubles at Masters 1000 events instead of separate men’s and women’s doubles competitions. According to him, no other sport offers such a unique opportunity where favorite male and female athletes team up together for big prizes.
Another thought-provoking suggestion involves micing up players during matches similar to what happens in NBA games. He wonders why we can’t hear what top players like Novak or Alcaraz are thinking during crucial moments – it could add an exciting layer of drama!
Kyrgios feels there should be changes within commentary too; he doesn’t appreciate overly critical voices who don’t understand modern-day challenges faced by athletes today as they strive towards becoming one among top 128 globally recognized talents required just reaching Grand Slams alone!
Lastly but importantly — engaging younger audiences remains key focus area according him: updating commentaries reflect current generation’s attention span limitations while keeping things lively enough capture new followers’ interest quickly through short bursts energetic content might help bring fresh faces into fold over time!
