Kyrgios has only competed in one event this year, in Stuttgart, due to injuries. The Australian missed the entire start of the season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in January.
A foot problem stopped him from competing at the French Open in May while missing the Wimbledon due to a torn ligament in his wrist.

Berlin, June 14 (Ians) China’s rising star Wu Yibing notched the first win on grass in his pro-career by defeating eighth seed Nick Kyrgios of Australia on Tuesday at ATP250 Stuttgart Boss Open in Germany.
As the first Atp title winner from the Chinese mainland, Wu played his first pro match on grass against Kyrgios.

“The last time I played on grass was juniors back in 2017, so six years,” said 23-year-old Wu after his victory. “I was really happy to play Nick in the first round. He’s one of the best players on grass and he served well. He aced me many times. The key for me was to stay cool, stay patient in the game and find a way.

Madrid, May 5 (Ians) Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff looked down and out when he lost in the final round of the qualifying for the Mutua Madrid Open last week. However, after getting another chance as a lucky loser, the German appears to be making the most of the opportunity as he stormed into his first Atp Masters 1000 semifinal.
The lucky loser upset fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-6(5), 5-7, 6-3 on Thursday night to reach the last four stage at the Caja Magica. The German will next face Aslan Karatsev, who ousted him in qualifying.
Struff is the third lucky loser to advance to the semifinals of a Masters 1000 event, joining Thomas Johansson (2004 Toronto) and Lucas Pouille (2016 Rome). He has now split six Atp head-to-head matches with Tsitsipas and is two victories from hoisting his first Atp Tour trophy.

“I am really happy because today I was really aggressive on court. I played so well. I did my best today, I am really happy about that,” said Sonego, who was making his main-draw debut in Sofia.

Berlin, Aug 15 (Ians) Germany’s Davis Cup team will be able to call on star player Alexander Zverev for their group stage games next month as the world number two continues his recovery from injury.
Zverev has not played since hurting his ankle at the French Open in early June and after surgery remains a doubt for the US Open, which takes place directly before the Davis Cup.
Germany captain Michael Kohlmann said he was “very convinced” the 25-year-old Olympic champion Zverev would be available for his country but admitted there were “a couple of question marks” about his participation in the final grand slam of the season.
Oscar Otte, Jan-Lennard Struff and the doubles specialists Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz were also nominated for the squad.
Germany face France (September 14), Belgium (September 16) and Australia (September 18) in Zverev’s hometown of Hamburg with the top two nations progressing to November’s finals in Malaga.

Halle (Germany), June 16 (Ians) Canadian world No.21 Felix Auger-Aliassime rallied from a set down to defeat his childhood idol and former world No.1 Roger Federer, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 and enter the quarter-finals of the Noventi Open here on Wednesday.
The Swiss ace, who has won the Halle trophy a record 10 times, was being challenged by 20-year-old Auger-Aliassime for the first time. But, despite the age difference -- 19 years, as both share their birthdays on August 8 -- the Canadian displayed maturity beyond his age to defeat his "childhood idol".
This was Auger-Aliassime's fourth top-10 career win and will next face the winner of the match between Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff, who had upset world No. 2 Daniil Medvedev on Tuesday in the first round, and American qualifier Marcos Giron.
World No.7, Russia's Andrey Rublev powered into the quarter-finals for a second time, defeating world No. 81 Jordan Thompson of Australia 6-4, 6-4 in 86 minutes.
