Nick Kyrgios, who is away from the tennis courts owing to his injury woes, recently opened up about how he is ‘contemplating retirement.’ While announcing his unavailability for the Paris Olympics, the Australian tennis star asserted that there is a ‘part of him’ that knows his journey on the competitive tour may be over. However, just after issuing those candid statements, the ATP player has now brushed aside his own ‘retirement’ column, drawing the attention of many fans.

Now that he is not playing tennis, Kyrgios has taken up the role of commentator and analyst for the Australian Open. After a lengthy hiatus and his retirement rumors, the Aussie recently revealed that he is planning a comeback as “there is plenty left in the tank.”
