Kyrgios to return to French Open after eight years

Nick Kyrgios is looking forward to "having a bit of fun" as he returns to the French Open for the first time in eight years.

The 30-year-old, who has not played at Roland Garros since 2017, will team up with fellow Australian Jordan Thompson in the men's doubles.

Kyrgios, a former Wimbledon finalist, has struggled with a series of foot, knee and wrist injuries in recent seasons and has only played four singles matches in 2025.

Although he had not initially planned on competing in Paris, Kyrgios accepted the offer to play in the doubles after Thompson's regular partner Max Purcell was handed an 18-month doping ban, backdated to December 2024, in April.
