Nick Kyrgios has activated his protected ranking to enter the main draw of the US Open from August 24 to September 7 – live on Sky Sports Tennis.
After more than two years on the sidelines with knee and wrist problems, Kyrgios returned at the start of this season but was forced to abandon plans to play doubles at the French Open after suffering another knee injury.
The 30-year-old was then forced to skip Wimbledon for a third successive year after another injury setback.
Highlights of Kyrgios against Mackenzie McDonald at the Miami Open
His career was put in jeopardy by a torn ligament in his wrist in 2023, which required surgery and kept him out for a year and a half.
He finally returned to action in January but admitted after losing to Britain’s Jacob Fearnley in the first round of the Australian Open that he might have played his last singles match at Melbourne Park.
Kyrgios was in tears when more pain in his wrist prompted him to retire at Indian Wells in March, although he did win his first singles match since 2022 against Mackenzie McDonald in Miami later that month in what was his most recent tournament.
The Australian, who has moved into TV punditry, is due to partner veteran Frenchman Gael Monfils in doubles at the ATP 500 in Washington (from July 29 to August 4), where he has also activated his protected ranking to enter the singles draw.

Defending champions Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, who both top the tennis rankings, led 10 former winners of the US Open on the entry lists for this year’s tournament.
The fields include 18 past Grand Slam singles champions with direct entry into the final major tournament of the tennis season based on the rankings through July 14.
The cut-off was at No 101 for the men and No 99 for the women.
Players who used a special or protected ranking to qualify included Kyrgios (No 21), Petra Kvitova (No 14) and Sorana Cirstea (No 37).
Kyrgios has also entered the new-look Mixed Doubles Championship at Flushing Meadows, beginning Monday, August 18 alongside Naomi Osaka.
Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu will both be in action at the US Open
Britain’s Jack Draper, Cameron Norrie, Jacob Fearnley, Katie Boulter, Sonay Kartal and Emma Raducanu are direct entrants based on their rankings.

Hodiny v letadle, nebo polský gigant? Outsider může Spartě zavařit
Daleko známější polský mančaft totiž minulý týden doma vyhrál jen 1:0. A to ještě s odřenýma ušima, Aktobe byl (mimochodem, českým sudím Daliborem Černým) odvolán gól po zásahu videa kvůli těsnému ofsajdu. Kazaši se navíc v nastavení marně dožadovali penalty.Na všeobecně očekávanou cestu do Kazachstánu tak nemusí vůbec dojít. Ta může shodou náhod čekat ostravský Baník, jenž v předkolech Evropské ligy narazí na tým, který tentýž dvojzápas vyhraje.Zpět ke Spartě, jejíž novopečený kapitán Lukáš Haraslín i kouč Brian Priske situaci ohledně (zatím) neznámého soupeře glosovali na středeční tiskové konferenci.Foto: Vlastimil Vacek, Sport.czFotbalisté Sparty během přípravy.V závislosti na výsledku odvety, která je na programu od čtvrtečních 18:00 středoevropského času, mohou nastat dva scénáře.

UEFA Women’s Euro standings, schedule, groups: Spain lead tournament in wins and goals scored
The simmering summer of soccer continues in Switzerland as the 2025 UEFA Women's Euro heads to the knockout rounds. The Swiss-hosted tournament has provided more than beautiful landscapes draped with the Alps and inviting lakes, but exciting football throughout the group stages. Teams in contention have been narrowed down from 16 to eight, and home nation Switzerland is giving locals a reason to cheer, while reigning title holders England are on the hunt for another title, and Spain have emerged as rivals for the trophy. Dark horses Germany and Sweden remain threats to spoil results along the way, while France keep making statements that this is there year. The competition began on July 2 and will conclude on July 27 with the championship final at St. Jakob-Park in Basel, where the last remaining two teams will compete for the trophy. The knockout […]
Dynasty Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings: Movement in Denver and Houston shakes things up
USATSI Truth be told, there is not generally a lot of movement in Dynasty rankings in the month of June most years. Occasionally we get a late free agency signing, like J.K. Dobbins and Nick Chubb this year. In my rankings, both of those guys actually fell in these rankings after they signed with their new team. I was holding out hope one of them would land in a better place like Chicago or Dallas and have a better chance at carving out a larger role. Dobbins still could in Denver, but I am not optimistic about anyone functioning as a true RB1 for Sean Payton this year. Chubb, to me, seems more like Joe Mixon insurance, so unless Mixon is still in a walking boot at training camp or suffers another injury, I don't expect Chubb to have much […]
