Nick Kyrgios was hoping to have a fantastic run in the home slam, but he was stopped at the very beginning by a knee injury. Eventually, Nick carriers had knee surgery on Monday, hoping to be back to competitions in a couple of months.
After experiencing knee pain, Kyrgios withdrew from the Australian Open. His physio, Will Maher, said the 27-year-old had undergone an MRI scan, and the results revealed a “parameniscal cyst growing in his left meniscus.” The Wimbledon champion made an effort to prepare for the opening major of the year but ultimately withdrew because he didn’t think his body would hold up for seven matches of tournament play.
