Kooyong Classic 2026: Incredible player field booked in for revamped event image

After a 2025 hiatus, the Kooyong Classic returns in 2026 with an incredible field to descend on the famous Melbourne tennis venue.

On January 13-15, some of the world's best tennis players - including Nick Kyrgios - will be in action at the Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club.

With an already exciting field featuring the likes of Lorenzo Musetti, Alexander Bublik and Matteo Berrettini, tournament director Peter Johnston was excited for this season's event.

“Kooyong continues to attract players who want proper match preparation before the Australian Open,” Johnston said.

“With Nick joining the line-up and several new names still to be added, this year’s field offers strong matchups and plenty for fans to follow.”
