Nick Kyrgios has actually validated he will certainly miss out on following month’s Australian Open at Melbourne Park as a result of continuous injury worries, with the 28-year-old explaining the choice as “heartbreaking”.

Kyrgios made the news on the registration web site OnlyFans, which he signed up with on Friday.

“This is a very disappointing time for me, but I won’t be able to compete at the 2024 Australian Open,” Kyrgios stated.

“Obviously, heartbreaking. I’ve had so many amazing memories there, and I just want to really get back to playing at the top of my game and doing it right, and I need a little more time.

“I was so near winning a conquest [at 2022 Wimbledon]. I intend to see to it that my body is mosting likely to have the moment it requires ahead back, so please bear with me.”

Kyrgios has been hampered by knee and wrist injuries in 2023, which restricted the Canberran to playing just one match at the ATP Tour level.

He had surgery on his knee after being forced out of last January’s Australian Open before he was even able to take the court.

Kyrgios contested the Stuttgart ATP Tour event on grass in June, but a wrist injury saw him sidelined from Wimbledon and the remainder of the season.

His decision not to play the Australia Open did not come as a surprise, as his name was absent from the tournament’s main draw listing when it was released on Thursday.

Kyrgios stated he would certainly still go to the Australian Open, where he will certainly operate in television discourse.
