While waiting to find out what will happen to Nadal, launched in a race against the clock to be physically fit on the Parisian ocher, Roland-Garros has just recorded the first major package. Indeed, the spectacular Australian player Nick Kyrgios will once again miss Roland-Garros (May 28-June 11) this year.
He withdrew due to a knee injury, we learned on Tuesday from the French Tennis Federation (FFT), organizer of the tournament. Finalist last year at Wimbledon, the 26th in the world has not played on clay in Paris since his elimination in the second round in 2017. In five appearances since 2013, Kyrgios has only reached the third round twice (2015 and 2016).
