“Well, we kind of already decided to go home and have that time. You know, we just working towards that. The time at home is crucial because the next trip is three months. That time at home is so valuable… we’re both very family-orientated so we have to make sure that circle remains tight,” Kyrgios further talked about the reason he’s not participating in this year’s French Open. 

Kyrgios is ready for the Grass court season

So far, the Aussie star played some unbelievable matches on the tour at the Miami Open and Indian Wells. Despite not playing on clay court, he showed some great tennis in Houston, reaching the semi-final of that tournament. Also, he faced a lot of controversies for unsportsmanlike conduct during the US tour. 

Now, he would want to forget all that and focus on the Grass court season ahead. It’s already confirmed that he will take part in Stuttgart at an ATP 250 event, one of the very first tournaments to kick start the grass-court season. Previously, on many occasions, he entertained the Center Court crowd with his outrageous tennis. No one will forget his unbelievable win against Rafael Nadal in the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2014. 

If he can focus on his game, he will pose some serious threats to some of the top seeds in the tournament.
