Nick Kyrgios withdraws from match casting doubt on Australian Open participation

·

Nick Kyrgios’ participation in the Australian Open is now in doubt after he withdrew from a pre-tournament exhibition match against Novak Djokovic.

The 29-year-old revealed on Instagram that he is dealing with a grade 1 abdominal strain, having undergone an ultrasound.

“Unfortunately won’t be able to play my good friend [Novak Djokovic] this Thursday on the 9th as I’ve had an ultrasound on my abdominal and have a grade 1 strain,” Kyrgios wrote.

“Will be resting and doing everything I can to be OK by the AusOpen.”

Kyrgios played three matches at last week’s Brisbane International, including two doubles matches with Djokovic, but was eliminated from the singles by Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.
