Nick Kyrgios announced his withdrawal from the Australian Open in January on Saturday, a decision that “breaks his heart” as he continues to fight to return to form after a long absence due to injury. The whimsical Australian had knee surgery in January, then gave up on returning to Wimbledon after tearing a ligament in his wrist.
He said last month that “the stars would have to align” for him to be ready for his domestic Grand Slam in January 2024, and the former world number 13 confirmed on Saturday that he had failed in that race against time. “This is a very disappointing moment for me, but I will not be able to participate in the 2024 Australian Open,” Kyrgios said on the subscription site OnlyFans, which he joined as a content creator last week. last week.
“Obviously it breaks my heart. I had so many amazing memories there, and I just want to get back to the top of my game and do things right, and I need a little more time, he stressed. Even if I won’t participate in the competition this year, I will always be present, I will comment on the matches, I will be there.
