Nick Kyrgios to play at Australian Open in Melbourne despite ankle injury

·

Nick Kyrgios’ manager, Daniel Horsfall, has confirmed the tennis star will be fit to play at the Australian Open in Melbourne this month despite an ankle injury.

Kyrgios was scheduled to play in Adelaide International but has since withdrawn from the January tournament due to the injury. This comes soon after pulling out of Australia’s United Cup team last Wednesday.

According to ABC news, Kyrgios’s manager said, “A lot of people were upset after he pulled out of the United Cup. We are working every day to make sure we’re ready for the Australian Open.”

“I hope they now realise the injury is genuine,” Mr Horsfall added.

The Adelaide International event organisers were disappointed by the decision. In a statement the organisers wished Kyrgios “the best of luck and a quick recovery” understanding the importance of the Australian Open preparation.

“Injury happens and health is always the priority,” the organisers said according to ABC news.

Nick Kyrgios is expected to defend the men’s doubles title with friend and team mate, Thanasi Kokkinakis, at the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne this month.
