The Aussie, who was supposed to play his second event of this year at Mallorca Championships, decided to pull out of the event due to neck injury. Kyrgios was supposed to the Stuttgart Open as well.

Ever since the pandemic created havoc on the ATP tour, the Australian decided to take a break from tennis and returned to play the Australian Open this year. On his home-soil, Kyrgios managed to entertain the crowd with two block-buster matches against Ugo Humbert and Dominic Thiem.

While it’s evident that fans will be seeing him on a tennis court only at Wimbledon this year, the former top-20 player has been an active participant on social media and frequently shares photos/thoughts on what’s happening with his life.

With Kyrgios being a straight-forward person, a lot of his thoughts and tweets became controversial and a matter of discussion amongst tennis fans. Couple of hours ago, the Aussie star shared a tweet asking fans to choose a player on the ATP tour for Kyrgios to have a boxing match with.

“Idea….Kyrgios vs which tennis player….boxing match?” Kyrgios tweeted.

Coming back to tennis, it’s a well known fact that the Aussie likes grass courts more than any other surface. Even though Nick Kyrgios has a high chance of success at SW19, lack of match practice will be a true test for him in the initial rounds.
