Nick Kyrgios has played just one match since the start of 2023 due to injuries and it is not known when he will return to the ATP Tour. However, he has suggested he could be back on court soon, while also revealing that he is going to interview world No. 1 Novak Djokovic on his show 'Good Trouble'. Kyrgios recently said he is taking his recovery "one day at a time".

Nick Kyrgios has teased an imminent return to the tennis court, as the star edges closer to a comeback from injury.
Kyrgios, 28, has only played one match since the start of 2023 due to undergoing two surgeries.
At the Australian Open, where he worked as a commentator for Eurosport, he suggested that he might consider stepping away from tennis, although he then said the idea is "absolute nonsense" and he is as "hungry as ever".
It is still not known when he will return to the tour, but it could be coming soon.
In a post on X, Kyrgios hinted at his potential comeback as well as an interview with Novak Djokovic on his video podcast series ‘Good Trouble’, which is available to watch on discovery+.
“Next guest on Good Trouble - Novak Djokovic,” wrote Kyrgios, whose guests on the show so far include Gordon Ramsey and Jay Shetty.
“Tennis footage - Tuesday next week! BACK ON COURT!”
It seems unlikely that Kyrgios will be back on the ATP Tour soon considering the upcoming clay swing has been, historically, one of the least active parts of his season.
However, the grass season, where Kyrgios has been more successful, is only three months away.
Kyrgios is signed up to play this summer at an Ultimate Tennis Showdown event in New York.
He told UTS about his fitness: “I’m feeling great but taking it one day at a time.
“It was a pretty significant surgery so we will see how it goes.”
Kyrgios’ last match on tour was on grass in Stuttgart in 2023.
A year earlier he had been in the form of his life as he reached the Wimbledon final, where he lost to Djokovic, won Washington, and made the quarter-finals of the US Open.
The Wimbledon final could be among the topics that come up in his interview with Djokovic.
Kyrgios and Djokovic once had a frosty relationship but now appear much closer.
At the Australian Open Kyrgios revealed that he speaks "nearly every day" with Djokovic and also shares memes with him.
