Kyrgios later went on social media and posted, “FOE x KYGS Always keep your head up brother. With all the shit we have dealt with we gotta keep moving forward.” It was a nice gesture by the Australian star to send a consolatory message to his teammate.

Kyrgios has not played many tournaments this season. He competed in Australia at the Open after nearly a year of absence. However, he lost in the third round in an epic match against Dominic Thiem. During that match, Nick was up by two sets before Thiem came and clinched the next three sets.

After that, he was directly seen in London at the Wimbledon Championships. He had to retire midway through the match since his shoulder was causing problems. 

It’s great to see Nick back again competing and fans hope to see him perform up to his usual standards once again.
