“I’m actually unhappy to say that I’ve to withdraw from Wimbledon this yr,” Kyrgios wrote on Instagram. “I attempted my hardest to be prepared after my surgical procedure and to have the ability to step on the Wimbledon courts once more. Throughout my comeback, I skilled some ache in my wrist in the course of the week of Mallorca. As a precaution I had it scanned and it got here again displaying a torn ligament in my wrist.

“I attempted all the things to have the ability to play and I’m disillusioned to say that I simply didn’t have sufficient time to handle it earlier than Wimbledon – I’ll be again.”

The 28-year-old Kyrgios reached his maiden main closing at Wimbledon final July and took the opening set earlier than bowing to defending champion Novak Djokovic in 4 units.

Kyrgios, who underwent left knee surgical procedure the final week of January, has performed simply two units in 2023.
