Wimbledon runner-up Nick Kyrgios (27) has been handed a wildcard into next month's US Open tune-up event in Cincinnati, Ohio, organisers of the Western & Southern Open said on Monday.
For the Australian, who two weeks ago fell to Novak Djokovic in his first Grand Slam singles final, this will mark his sixth appearance in Cincinnati and first since 2019.
The entry list for the August 13-21 Western & Southern Open includes world number one Daniil Medvedev and former champions Alexander Zverev (2021) - who missed Wimbledon with injury - Grigor Dimitrov (2017), Marin Cilic (2016) and Rafael Nadal (2013).
Twice champion Djokovic is also on the Cincinnati entry list but is very unlikely to play due to his refusal to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Travellers seeking to enter the United States have to provide proof of vaccination.
Kyrgios is currently playing in Atlanta, which you can follow here.>>>
