Can Nick Kyrgios Win The 2023 Australian Open?
Nick Kyrgios is one of the most skilled players on the entire ATP Tour and is fresh off his most productive years at Grand Slam level, which suggests he's ready to take that next step and deliver on the promise he's showcased throughout his career.
However, Kyrgios will have to step up significantly at his home Grand Slam given his recent record at Melbourne Park.
The world number 23 has not made it to the Quarterfinal stage at the Australian Open since 2015, having progressed past that stage at both Wimbledon and the US Open multiple times since.
The biggest hurdle he will need to overcome is Novak Djokovic, who has been the most successful player in the history of the Australian Open.
Surprisingly, he does hold a 2-1 career advantage over Djokovic in ATP Tour match ups, which holds him in good stead if they meet late in the tournament.
