Nick Kyrgios has wished Rafa Nadal well in his recovery from the injury that gifted the Australian a place in his first grand slam final
champion’s withdrawal was charged with the sort of respect that has defined the interaction between top players in this golden era of men’s tennis.
The walkover offered a window of opportunity for the 27-year-old’s mother to make a last-minute dash to the UK. But Team Kyrgios said Nill would remain at home in Canberra while awaiting a kidney transplant. “Obviously my mum’s health has been a bit rocky,” he said. “It’s been pretty bad for a while now. She’s not able to kind of come to these [events] and she’s not allowed to travel that much.
Kyrgios added “obviously it would be amazing for her to be here but she’s obviously dealing with a lot of things”.
