Nick Kyrgios ‘may struggle to get back’ to tennis, fears Australian analyst
Nick Kyrgios will “struggle to play tennis again” after injury, a respected Australian tennis broadcaster has claimed.
Kyrgios missed all four Grand Slam tournaments in 2023 due to wrist and knee injuries, but this will affect next season as he has already announced that he will not be able to return to the Australian Open. ing.
For Kyrgios, this is a painful blow. Kyrgios looked like he was finally on the verge of overcoming his mental demons in 2022 and realizing the obvious potential he always had.
That year, he reached the Wimbledon final and played some great tennis, but since then his health has deteriorated.
And Brett Phillips, who plays a key role in Australia’s Channel 9 tennis broadcasts, said he was concerned about Kyrgios’ future, both for physical reasons and as an up-and-coming talent on the ATP Tour. It is said that there is.
“The injury has affected him. To be honest, I think it will be difficult for him to come back,” he said.
“He has a lot more to offer than just tennis.” He has recently dabbled in commentary, with good results. We know he has good IQ and fundamentals. He will continue to be in demand.
Gotta be honest… was an absolute pleasure having @NickKyrgios join us on @TennisChannel for the call of the ATP Finals today. Couldn’t have been nicer and more professional. And great tactical insights having winning records vs. both @DaniilMedwed & @AlexZverev. Looking forward… pic.twitter.com/wAsIFvlC2Y

“So he’s 28 years old. Nick Kyrgios has never talked about how he’s a tennis player who played into his 30s and had a long tennis career. He probably retired two years ago. That’s what I was talking about when I did it.”I think these injuries, knee, wrist, those are the two worst in tennis.
“[Juan Martín] del Potro was unable to return from a wrist injury and Roger Federer was unable to return from several knee surgeries.
“If you look at what’s happened since Nick was mostly out of action, the talent that’s emerged is on a whole other level.”
When will Nick Kyrgios be back?
Kyrgios is likely to play at the Australian Open in his new role as a presenter. That’s simply because he was too good and too famous to not be.
However, his future seems much more uncertain when it comes to returning to the pitch.
Although Kyrgios has typically indicated an interest in playing in Grand Slams, he has never shown a strong desire to play regularly.
However, there is one exception to this slam tournament rule. It’s Roland Garros. Clay court tennis usually requires more patience than strength, but Kyrgios isn’t really suited for that, so he always skipped tennis.
But as much as you want to be prepared for lawn season, doing so can come with its own challenges. Kyrgios believes he is a real contender for the Wimbledon title, but the grass season is short and will soon be followed by the much longer clay season.
That means he will have a hard time getting fit for Wimbledon. Therefore, in preparation for his return, he could aim for his double in March Sunshine if possible.
That would allow him to play some meaningful tennis before and after the clay court season, giving him a chance to find his rhythm in time for Wimbledon.
