Occasional Digest - a story for you

WIMBLEDON 2023 is finally UNDERWAY – and Nick Kyrgios was the star of the show during last year’s iconic tournament.

His stunning performances laced with controversial on-court antics made him the first name on everyone’s lips.

The Aussie showman powered himself into the final, where he lost in a thriller to Novak Djokovic.

But Kyrgios has only played ONE match in nine months after pulling out of the Australian Open in January for a drainage procedure on his left knee.

And he will play no part of Wimbledon 2023…

Why is Nick Kyrgios not playing Wimbledon?

Nick Kyrgios will NOT be playing at Wimbledon, after revealing he had suffered a wrist injury on the eve of the tournament.

In a statement, Kyrgios said: “I’m really sad to say that I have to withdraw from Wimbledon this year.

“During my comeback, I experienced some pain in my wrist during Mallorca.

“As a precaution I had it scanned and it came back showing a torn ligament in my wrist.

“I tried everything to be able to play and I am disappointed to say that I just didn’t have enough time to manage it before Wimbledon.

“I’ll be back and as always, I appreciate the support from all my fans.”
