2022 finalist Nick Kyrgios withdraws from Wimbledon
Nick Kyrgios has withdrawn from Wimbledon due to a torn ligament in his wrist, the tennis star has confirmed on social media.
In a statement on Sunday, Kyrgios said: “Hey Everyone, I’m really sad to say that I have to withdraw from Wimbledon this year.
Sorry to hear your news @NickKyrgios – wishing you a swift recovery and hope to see you back on our courts next year ????#Wimbledon pic.twitter.com/R0zl7i74Bd

“I tried my hardest to be ready after my surgery and to be able to step on the Wimbledon courts again. During my comeback, I experienced some pain in my wrist during the week of Mallorca.
“As a precaution I had it scanned and it came back showing a torn ligament in my wrist. I tried everything to be able to play and I am disappointed to say that I just didn’t have enough time to manage it before Wimbledon.”
The Australian finished runner-up last year but has missed the Australian and French Open through injury issues, missing his home Grand Slam with a knee injury before sitting out of Roland Garros after suffering a foot injury.
