Nick Kyrgios handed blockbuster rematch in Wimbledon draw, Ash Barty drawn against Spanish veteran
Nick Kyrgios will face France's Ugo Humbert in the opening round of Wimbledon in a rematch of one of the most exciting matches in February's Australian Open.
Kyrgios will play in his first Grand Slam outside Australia since the 2019 US Open when he takes to the court to face Humbert after also sitting out last month's Roland-Garros.
The 26-year-old is in the same section of the draw as Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alexander Zverev.
Kyrgios and Humbert faced off in the second round of this year's Australian Open, where the Australian prevailed in a thrilling five-setter.
