Tennis Star Nick Kyrgios to Miss Australian Open
Former Wimbledon finalist and U.S. Open champion Nick Kyrgios will not be competing in the upcoming Australian Open due to ongoing injuries. The 28-year-old Australian has been plagued by knee and wrist injuries throughout the 2023 season, causing him to miss all four Grand Slam tournaments.
Kyrgios, who won the doubles title with Thanasi Kokkinakis in Australia in 2022, reached the Wimbledon finals and the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open. However, a knee injury forced him to undergo surgery in January, subsequently leading to his absence from the tournaments.
Despite Australian Open organizer Craig DeLay expressing confidence that Kyrgios would participate, the tennis star’s name was not included in the first list of players. According to experts, Kyrgios needs to rest until June 2024 and focus on rehabilitation to regain his fitness for future tournaments.
On the other hand, 22-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal has confirmed his participation in the Australian Open, as his name appeared in the initial list of players. As the tennis world eagerly anticipates the upcoming tournament, fans will miss seeing Kyrgios on the court as he focuses on his recovery and rehabilitation.
