MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Nick Kyrgios won a match for the first time in nearly 2 1/2 years on Wednesday at the Miami Open, beating Mackie McDonald 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 while wearing a thick wrap of beige tape on his surgically repaired right wrist that he said was numb after he took five painkillers.

The wait is over! After nearly 900 days since his most recent ATP win, Nick Kyrgios celebrated another at the Miami Open. The Aussie faced Mackenzie McDonald in the first round and claimed a comeback 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory in an hour and 43 minutes.

Nick Kyrgios says he feared he would never play tennis again after claiming his first ATP Tour victory since 2022 on Wednesday.
