“I feel I should hobble out there and be in the middle of the hug,” commented the American legend.

“Nick Kyrgios, betta watch out. I’m a jealous partner,” added the former World No.1 player.
As of now, Nick Kyrgios has not withdrawn from the mixed doubles category at Wimbledon 2021. However, there are doubts whether he will be able to serve properly in the match against fourth-seeded Nicole Melichar and Edouard Roger-Vasselin, keeping in mind that he injured himself during his singles clash against Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Will Venus and Kyrgios be able to win the mixed doubles title in London this year?
