Nick “King” Kyrgios returns to tennis action on the regular Tour on the Stuttgart grass on Tuesday after a seven-month injury lay-off.

It’ll be his first match of the year on the regular ATP Tour.

What’s more, he plays against Yibing Wu, “The Great Wall” for the very first time in his career.

We already know the two will meet again in LA this summer as they clash in the group stage of UTS, which begins on July 21st at Dignity Health Sports Park!

Kyrgios, with a career-high ranking on world No 13, enjoyed huge success on grass last year, reaching the Wimbledon final, where he lost to Novak Djokovic, and the semi-finals of Halle and Stuttgart, where he lost to Hubert Hurkacz and Andy Murray respectively.

UTS Los Angeles will take place on hard courts, though – the surface on which the Australian has won all seven of his career titles thus far.
