Nick Kyrgios unveils a new haircut on social media

Nick Kyrgios goes bald after Australian Open campaign

Kyrgios took to Instagram to post a picture of himself after going bald, with the caption: “Aerodynamic Kygs.”

The Australian has only played one singles match this season, which was a loss to Aleksandar Kovacevic in Brisbane.

He won a match with compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis in doubles at the Brisbane International, but the duo were knocked out in the second round.

The ‘Special K’s’ entered the Australian Open together, and bowed out in round one to the team of Jason Kubler and Marc Polmans.

Nick Kyrgios’ only Grand Slam appearance in the last three years

Since the conclusion of his successful 2022 season on the ATP Tour, Kyrgios has only made one appearance in singles at a Grand Slam.

He missed out on the entirety of the Grand Slam season in both 2023 and 2024, before finally returning to major action at the 2025 Australian Open.

There, he fell to Britain’s Jacob Fearnley in straight sets, losing 7-6, 6-3, 7-6 in front of a home crowd.

Kyrgios has not yet confirmed whether he will play at Roland Garros in May; a tournament he has not played singles at since 2017.
