Before this year’s Wimbledon tournament, Nick Kyrgios has failed to recover from a wrist injury.
“I tried my hardest to be ready after my surgery and to be able to step on the Wimbledon courts again,” said the 28-year-old Australian, who reached the Wimbledon final last year before being beaten by Novak Djokovic, in a post on Sunday in Instagram.

Wimbledon reagierte auf die Nachricht und wünschte Kyrgios eine „schnelle Genesung“.
The tournament tweeted: “Hope to see you back on our courts next year.”
Am Montag beginnt Wimbledon und dauert bis zum 16. Juli. Novak Djokovic ist erneut favorisiert, den Männerturnier zu gewinnen, wo er das Rekord von Roger Federer von acht Wimbledon-Titeln brechen kann.
