Nick Kyrgios won\u2019t play in the 2024 Australian Open due to a wrist injury.<\/span>Credit: <\/span>Jason South<\/cite><\/p>\n \u201cHey guys, Nick Kyrgios here. [I have] obviously had a really tough year with injury, had that knee surgery and came back a little too soon, [which] set me back a little bit [and I have] had some wrist issues,\u201d Kyrgios said.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, this is a very disappointing time for me, but I won\u2019t be able to compete at the 2024 Australian Open.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, [this is] heartbreaking. I\u2019ve had so many amazing memories there, and I just want to really get back to playing at the top of my game and doing it right, and I need a little more time.<\/p>\n \u201cI was so close to winning a grand slam [making last year\u2019s Wimbledon final against Novak Djokovic] \u2013 I want to make sure that my body is going to have the time it needs to come back, so please bear with me.<\/p>\n \u201cEven though I won\u2019t be there competing this year at the AO, I still will be around, commentating matches, being around \u2013 I\u2019ve got some special things planned, so please be excited still. You know I\u2019ll be there and hopefully see all the fans. I\u2019ll see you there.\u201d<\/p>\n Kyrgios underwent knee surgery during this year\u2019s Australian Open after waiting until the eve of the tournament to withdraw and did not return until the grass-court season mid-year.<\/p>\n However, he suffered a torn wrist ligament in his right hand at Mallorca ahead of Wimbledon and has not played since.<\/p>\n
