After Team World lost in Laver Cup 2021, Nick Kyrgios dropped hints at drawing the curtains on his professional tennis career. He performed poorly at the tournament and lost in both the singles and doubles events. Furthermore, the Australian stated that it would be his final tournament of the 2021 season.

Kyrgios is widely known as one of the most dramatic tennis players of all time. Outside of his antics, he possesses a very unorthodox kind of gameplay. His delicate shot-making ability and elegant game have earned him supporters all around the world, as well as victories against all of the game’s best players.

He tweeted, “Not sure where you are in the world right now but take your time, think about what makes you happy, and make the decision that suits you best but there are many in tennis who want to see you stay in the sport. You are a long-time retired. Tennis is more fun with you in it.”

Kyrgios’ awful performance at Laver Cup

The Aussie started his Laver Cup with the opening match against Word No. 3, Stefanos Tsitsipas. The latter dominated throughout the match and was an eventual winner with a score of 6-3, 6-4.

In his second match, he partnered with America’s John Isner for the doubles event. The pair graciously won the first set against Stefanos Tsitsipas/Andrey Rublev. However, the experienced duo from Team Europe took the match deep and were victorious in the end.

As of now, Kyrgios has decided to withdraw from the rest of the 2021 season. However, it would really be fascinating to see whether the Australian will return for the 2022 season.
