Kyrgios makes a shocking confession about what he wants
28-year-old Australian Nick Kyrgios admitted that he does not want to play tennis anymore. But the Canberra native said he was forced to go to court due to exigent circumstances.
“If it were all up to me… To be honest, I don’t want to play tennis anymore. But I have to. I still have so much to give. But I’m tired, I’m tired, I’ve already had three surgeries. And I’m only 28 years old. Even if I won Wimbledon, people would say, “Now do it again.” It’s a rat race. When is enough anyway? “I am very happy with my life, I have plenty of reasons to be happy,” Kyrgios said.
Let us remind you that the Australian plays in only one tournament in 2023 – in Stuttgart (Germany). The athlete missed the remaining competitions due to knee and wrist injuries.
Nick Kyrgios previously announced that he will not play at the Australian Open 2024.

24-year-old British tennis player Jack DraperThe national team, which ranks 10th in the ATP rankings, will not be able to play in the 2025 Australian Open.
This became known on December 26. Jack recorded a video message in which he stated that he will miss the Australian series completely:
“Unfortunately, my team and I have decided not to travel to Australia this year. This is a really difficult decision because the Australian Open is a Grand Slam event, one of the biggest tournaments in our sport.”
However, I had been suffering from a hand injury for a long time. I am in the final stages of my recovery and returning to the court so early for five-set matches does not seem like a wise decision for me and my tennis.
Of course, I have already experienced many failures. But this was the hardest and hardest I have ever experienced. I expect to be back racing and competing on the field in 2026. Thank you everyone for your support in 2025; This really means a lot to me. I hope to return to tour soon and compete at the highest level again,” Draper said.
Interestingly, Draper only announced that he would play at a major in Melbourne on the 24th of the same month.
Jack has been away from the Tour since late August, when he withdrew from his match against Zizou Bergs in the second round of the US Open, ending his season early.
