‘Shattered’: Kyrgios pulls out of singles draw at Atlanta Open

·

An injured Nick Kyrgios has withdrawn from the singles draw at the Atlanta Open.

The world no.47, who won the Atlanta tournament in 2016, was set to play German Peter Gojowczyk before pulling out earlier today.

Dealing with a left knee injury, Kyrgios said he may still be available to continue in the doubles with Thanasi Kokkinakis.

WATCH Kyrgios explain his withdrawal to the crowd here:

“I’m extremely shattered that I’m not able to compete tonight,” the 27-year-old said.

“I’ve won this tournament once and am probably playing some of the best tennis of my career and all I wanted to do was come out here and give you guys a show.

“I’m not able to give out my best performance and I’m extremely sorry and I’m going to keep my hopes up that I may be able to continue doubles with Thanasi.”

Kyrgios and Kokkinakis, who won this year’s Australian Open doubles, won their first-round encounter against French pairing Nicholas Mahut and Edouard Roger-Vasselin in Atlanta yesterday.
