Kyrgios is preparing hard ahead of the Australian Open

At the end of September 2021, Nick Kyrgios, by way of Instagram stories, had revealed that his left knee was injured. This was when he exited the tour for the rest of the year. “Over the past couple months, I haven’t been 100 percent healthy. I’ve been dealing with left knee patella tendinopathy and continuing to play without treating it can lead to further pain and greater setbacks,” Kyrgios wrote.

Kyrgios is certainly projecting a renewed fervor and determination for the sport. Thus, it will be interesting to see his performance next year. After all, he too would want to perform well in his home country starting next month.
