Nick Kyrgios says he feels "fit and healthy" after announcing he will return to competitive tennis at the Brisbane International at the end of December.
The 29-year-old Australian has played just one ATP Tour singles match in two years because of knee, foot and wrist injuries.
The Brisbane event starts the 2025 season and is a warm-up for the Australian Open which begins on 12 January.
"It has been a long journey of recovery to be where I am today," Kyrgios said.
"One of the goals I had set was to be able to play during the Aussie summer so I am excited that I get to start in Brisbane, which is one of my favourite tournaments."
In October, Kyrgios, who was beaten in the 2022 Wimbledon final by Novak Djokovic, said he was planning to return at December's World Tennis League event in Abu Dhabi.
He won the Brisbane International in 2018, defeating American Ryan Harrison in the final, and will be making his fourth appearance at the tournament.
鈥淚 am feeling fit and healthy, and I am excited for my return to tennis following some time out of the sport," Kyrgios said.
