- On Wednesday, Nick Kyrgios defeated Corentin Moutet 6-3, 6-4 at ATP Stuttgart in 69 minutes, marking his first singles match since January.
- Sidelined since January by wrist reconstruction and four knee surgeries, Kyrgios had not competed in singles since his 2022 Wimbledon final appearance before injuries derailed his career.
- "Quite emotional moment," Kyrgios said. "I had a lot of surgeries and I'm very thrilled to be back." He dominated with powerful serves and groundstrokes throughout.
- Kyrgios will face Sho Shimabukuro from Japan on Thursday; tournament organizers monitor his progress for a potential Wimbledon wildcard as supporters hope this comeback endures.
