Aussie tennis<\/a> firebrand Nick Kyrgios<\/a> is just hours away from a long-awaited return to the court.<\/p>\n

Last year's Wimbledon<\/a> finalist, Kyrgios will make his return at the Stuttgart Open in the early hours of Wednesday morning against Wu Yibing.<\/p>\n

Kyrgios has not played an official competitive match since November, and a singles match since October.<\/p>\n

After a last-minute withdrawal from the Australian Open in January, Kyrgios underwent surgery on a meniscus tear on his left knee.<\/p>\n

\"Nick<\/p>\n

"I wouldn't say it was major surgery, but I had quite a serious surgery on my knee," Kyrgios said.<\/p>\n

"It's taken me about five months to get back to even playing, moving and (ready to play) against these players."<\/p>\n

Kyrgios admitted while the time off was difficult, but he was able to enjoy spending time at home with his family.<\/p>\n

"It's been difficult, but at times it's been amazing just to be home with my family.\u00a0Tennis is a sport where you travel so much of the year, and being home was important," he said.<\/p>\n

"Seeing everyone (else) play wasn't easy, at times. I'm just super excited that my knee is a bit better and I'm able to play now."<\/p>\n

\"Kyrgios<\/p>\n

A semi-final walkover of Rafael Nadal saw Kyrgios meet Novak Djokovic in last year's Wimbledon final. He was downed in four sets 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3).<\/p>\n

It was at the All-England Club in 2014 that Kyrgios shot to stardom, beating Nadal on his way to a quarterfinals appearance in his first Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

Kyrgios said grass remains his strongest surface.<\/p>\n

"The grass season for me is always the best part of the year," he said.<\/p>\n

"This year has been really tough for me, obviously recovering from knee surgery. I'm coming back at a tournament (where) I've done really well in the past, played some amazing matches.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"I'm super excited to be here again and to get out there and play."<\/p>\n
