We’ll have to wait a little longer to see the showman on a tennis court. Nick Kyrgios had a string of withdrawals at the beginning of the year, notably at the Australian Open. Affected by a knee injury, the fantastic Australian was forced to undergo an operation at the end of January. At the time, his manager explained that his player’s goal was to come back for Indian Wells and Miami, two tournaments that the Aussie is very fond of. Finally, his name was crossed off the list on Monday.
A hard blow for Nick Kyrgios who will find the next events much less pleasant. Not a big fan of clay, he should still play on it for his comeback probably in April. Unless Nick limits his appearances at the beginning of the year and already plans to play on grass. Everything will probably depend on the recovery of his knee. The world No. 19 has not played officially since his second round victory in Tokyo on October 6.
