Nick Kyrgios was expected to have a great run in Atlanta after playing fantastic tennis in Wimbledon where he reached the final. Unfortunately, the Australian player had to withdraw with a left knee injury. Nick took on the court to apologize to the fans with the following message:
“First of all, I just want to say I’m extremely shattered that I’m not able to compete tonight. I’ve won this tournament once and I’m playing probably some of the best tennis of my career. All I wanted to do was come out here and give you guys a show, but I’m unable to give my best performance today.
I’m just extremely sorry, but I’m going to keep my hopes up and maybe be able to continue doubles with Thanasi this week.”
Kyrgios is still scheduled to play next week in Washington.
