Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios has denied rumors of his retirement, despite recently suggesting that his time in the sport may be coming to a close. The 28-year-old, who only participated in one match last season and missed out on Grand Slam events, has been working as a TV commentator at this year’s Australian Open due to a knee injury and wrist problem that affected his previous season. Despite these setbacks, Kyrgios has achieved success in doubles tournaments, including a victory at the Australian Open in 2022.
In a recent column for the Sydney Morning Herald, Kyrgios revealed that he had discussed his future with his agent, acknowledging that a part of him feels his time in the sport may be ending. He expressed enthusiasm for the possibility of commentating on tennis matches and highlighted the global opportunities that this career path could offer. However, he has since reversed his previous statements, stating that any reports of his retirement are “absolute nonsense.” Kyrgios emphasized that he remains dedicated to playing, despite the challenges he has faced with injuries, and reassured his fans that he will be returning to the court soon.
The Australian Open is currently in its final stages, with Daniil Medvedev securing a spot in the last four after defeating Hubert Hurkacz. Reigning Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz is set to face Alexander Zverev in the upcoming matches.
Kyrgios’ statement will likely come as a relief to his fans who may have been concerned about his potential retirement. It remains to be seen when he will make his comeback and how he will perform after his injury setbacks. Nevertheless, his determination and commitment to continuing his tennis career are evident, and it is clear that he is not ready to retire just yet.
As the world of tennis eagerly awaits Nick Kyrgios’ return to the court, the sport’s enthusiasts will continue to follow the developments of the ongoing Australian Open and anticipate the exciting matches that are yet to come.
