Five months after his last match in singles, Nick Kyrgios has returned to an excellent level at the ATP Stuttgart 2026, where he defeated Corentin Moutet in the first round with a 6-3 6-4 scoreline in 1 hour and 9 minutes of play. After going through a ordeal with his knee and wrist, it's great news that the Australian tennis player is back to this level on the grass court tour, his favorite due to his style of play. 

It's important to remember that Kyrgios was the Wimbledon finalist in 2022, when he was at his best. However, by the end of that same year, problems started, and since then, he hasn't been the same. The knee and wrist are very delicate, making it difficult to fully recover. Despite his efforts, Nick was hitting a wall knowing that it was hard to get back to how he was before, although on grass, he can rely on his serve and magic to achieve good results.

Kyrgios sends a warning for the grass court season

In fact, that's what he did against Moutet. Right from the start of the match, he secured a break against the Frenchman, which would give him an advantage throughout the first set. It's no surprise that his serve is among the best on the tour, both in power and variation, evidenced by a rating of 9.2 in the first set. Corentin's frustration was evident, as he had virtually no opportunities. In fact, he did not have any break points throughout the entire match.

Naturally, the match also had its spectacular moments, something expected when Kyrgios and Moutet share a court. Drop shots, shots between the legs, and a lot of showmanship is what the Stuttgart crowd witnessed. However, another early break in the second set gave Kyrgios an advantage he wouldn't relinquish. If he continues playing at this level without his body protesting, watch out for the Australian this season.
