Nick Kyrgios made news again at a Grand Slam tournament, at the Australian Open. 27 years old and number 21 in the world, Melbourne tomorrow awaits the ‘bad boy’ who led him to reach the final of the last Wimbledon, which he lost to Serbian Novak Djokovic.
In this one he played an exhibition match at Rod Laver Arena, the Australian Open facility. Usually despite the fact that he withdrew at the last minute from the United Cup for mixed teams.
He had to make his debut on Tuesday in the individual draw against the Russian Roman Safiullinalso entered the doubles team forming a pair with his friend and compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis. They had to defend the crown won last year at home, filling the track every day.
However, there will be no Kyrgios at the Australian Open. He says he finally feels ready to win a Grand Slam, and he won’t dispute it either. He withdrew due to a knee injury.
“I feel exhausted by all this. It’s brutal. It hasn’t been easy at all, for me it was one of the most important tournaments of my career,” he explained. “I am destroyed”, summed up his psychological state.
