Nick Kyrgios has suffered another setback in his faltering career, pulling out of the US Open men’s singles due to injury.
According to ABC News, it is the third consecutive year the 30-year-old Australian has withdrawn from the New York grand slam.
He has now missed the last three majors of the season, having fallen in the opening round of the Australian Open in January.
Kyrgios, a Wimbledon finalist in 2022 and quarterfinalist at the US Open that same year, has since battled recurring injuries to his foot, knee and wrist.
He has not competed in a singles match since losing to Karen Khachanov in Miami five months ago, with long-term wrist problems and what he described in July as a “cooked” knee continuing to plague him.
While determined to return to his best, Kyrgios has managed just one singles win in his 2025 comeback season, losing four matches.
He missed the entirety of 2024 and played only once in 2023, meaning he has now sat out 11 of the past 12 grand slams.
In July, Kyrgios partnered Gael Monfils in a doubles match in Washington, but the pair lost. He was also expected to feature in the mixed doubles with Naomi Osaka at Flushing Meadows, but withdrew.
