Nick Kyrgios will not play at Wimbledon after experiencing a “small setback” as he recovers from a knee injury.
“I’ve hit a small setback in my recovery and unfortunately won’t make it back for grass season this year,” Kyrgios posted on social media Tuesday. “I know how much you’ve been looking forward to seeing me out there and I’m genuinely sorry to disappoint. This is just a bump in the road though and I’m already working hard to get back stronger than ever.”
The Wimbledon runner-up in 2022 to Novak Djokovic, Kyrgios has dealt with knee and wrist injuries requiring surgery over the past two years.
Kyrgios, 30, is 1-4 in singles matches this year, last playing in mid-March at the Miami Open where he lost in the first round, 7-6 (3), 6-0, to Karen Khachanov of Russia.
Earlier in March, he retired from his BNP Paribas Open first-round match against the Netherlands’ Botic van de Zandschulp. He also suffered a first-round loss at his home country’s Australian Open in January.
