Australian Open 2024: Nick Kyrgios out of Grand Slam because of injury concerns

Nick Kyrgios says he will not take part in the Australian Open in January because of ongoing injury concerns.

The 28-year-old Australian missed all four majors in 2023 because of wrist, knee and foot injuries.

He has played just one match on the ATP Tour this year - losing to China's Wu Yibing in Stuttgart in June.

"I want to make sure my body is going to have the time it needs to come back," Kyrgios, runner-up at Wimbledon in 2022, said on his OnlyFans page.

Australian Open boss Craig Tiley said Kyrgios would attend "in some form", with Kyrgios saying he would "still be around, commentating matches".
