Probably the most polarizing tennis player is about to return on Tuesday.
Nick Kyrgios, who hasn’t played in singles since October, will face world number 54 Yibing Wu of China in the first round of the Stuttgart Open in Germany.
That is the first grass tournament of the yr for every player on the field.
Despite the sack, Kyrgios continues to be the -475 favorite over Wu, who comes off a disappointing brick swing after a small breakout in the first three months of the yr on hard courts.
Krygios vs Yibing Wu prediction
(10:00 AM EST)
There are several explanation why Kyrgios has such a high price tag despite it being his first match in eight months.
Initially, he’s considered one of the most talented players in the world and, frankly, he’s on one other level in comparison with Wu.
Secondly, Kyrgios is a champion on the lawn.
The volatile Australian not only drove to the Wimbledon final last yr, he also led the ATP Tour with 12 grass victories.
This will probably be Wu’s first grass match on the ATP Tour.
All things considered, it looks like an awesome place for Kyrgios.
But not every thing is equal.
Certainly one of these players is about to play his first tennis match in eight months.

Kyrgios can get through this match, but there’s good enough probability he won’t be at the races, and I’ll take +340 to fight him.
