In Australia, tennis player Nick Kyrgios announced plans to return to competitive play at the World Tennis League event in Abu Dhabi in December 2024. His determination comes after an extended absence from the sport due to knee and wrist injuries, following a loss to Novak Djokovic in the 2022 Wimbledon final. Over the past two years, he has played only one match, demonstrating both struggles with physical health and a period of reflection regarding his career. Kyrgios has also openly contemplated retirement but is keen to finish his career on a positive note. He expressed intentions to retire more gracefully than his peers Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal, and he aims to secure a grand-slam singles title before stepping away from the game to silence critics and solidify his legacy. Despite controversial theories regarding historical events—such as who built the pyramids—Kyrgios seems clear about his objectives on the court and his desire for redemption in the coming months.
