Australian professional tennis player Nick Kyrgios recently withdrew from the Wimbledon Championships 2021. Facing Felix Auger-Aliassime in the third round of the tournament, Kyrgios suffered an abs injury and was not able to serve properly. As a result, he decided to walk out of the match. The final scoreline of the match at the point was 2-6, 6-1.
Nick Kyrgios was not just playing in the singles category of the Wimbledon Championships 2021 but he was also the partner of Venus Williams in the mixed doubles category. Thus, there is a doubt that whether the Australian will be able to play with Williams or not.
In a recent interview, Kyrgios revealed that he would ‘most likely’ not play even in the mixed doubles category. He stated that he just pulled out of a match where he was the dominant player and it is difficult for him to continue in the tournament now.
