Adelaide International organisers express disappointment as Nick Kyrgios withdraws from next week's event, but he is expected to be ready for the Australian Open in 11 days.
August 2022 Montreal Masters - Rd of 32Kyrgios, ranked 22nd in the world and runner-up at last year's Wimbledon, has already missed the United Cup and will go into the Australian Open, which starts on January 16, having not played singles since the ATP event in Tokyo in October.
"We are very excited and working every day to make sure we're ready for the Australian Open," Kyrgios's manager Daniel Horsfall told Australian media. "A lot of people were upset after he pulled out of the United Cup, but I hope they now realise the injury is genuine.Horsfall said there was "no doubt at all" that Kyrgios would feature at the opening Grand Slam of the year.
Adelaide International organisers confirmed on Wednesday that Kyrgios would not take part in the second week of the event at Memorial Drive Tennis Centre from January 9, which follows this week's event at the same venue. "The event is clearly disappointed in this decision, as would be the fans who support him, but injury happens and health is always the priority," the organisers said in a statement.
