Australian Open: Kyrgios Hanging on a Wild-Card, Craig Tiley Maintains the Mystery
Nick Kyrgios must rely on a wild-card if he hopes to compete in the Australian Open. The Australian no longer has the option to use a protected ranking.
"We'll have to wait"
While he has not yet spoken publicly about this tournament, the tournament director, Craig Tiley, mentioned the possibility of the Australian's participation: "I can't say much more about Nick at the moment; we'll have to wait.
He has returned to competition, which is a good thing. He has participated in a few preparation tournaments, and I know he is looking forward to playing in Australia this summer."
