Nick Kyrgios, the Australian tennis star, has become the first player in 2023 to miss all four Grand Slams after withdrawing from the US Open.
Kyrgios had already missed the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon due to an elbow injury. He had been hoping to make a return to the court for the US Open, but has now decided to withdraw due to ongoing concerns about his health.
The 25-year-old has been dealing with a number of injuries over the past year, including a hip injury that forced him to miss the Australian Open in January. He then suffered an elbow injury which kept him out of the French Open and Wimbledon.
Kyrgios has been vocal about his desire to return to the court, but he has now decided that it is best for his health to take some time off and focus on his recovery.
The news of Kyrgios’ withdrawal from the US Open has been met with disappointment from fans and fellow players alike. Kyrgios is one of the most exciting players on the tour and his absence will be felt at the US Open.
Kyrgios’ withdrawal also means that he will miss out on the chance to compete for a Grand Slam title for the first time since 2017.
It is unclear when Kyrgios will be able to return to the court, but he is expected to take some time off to focus on his recovery.
Kyrgios’ withdrawal from the US Open is a reminder of how fragile professional tennis players can be and how important it is for them to take care of their bodies. We wish Kyrgios a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on the court soon.
