(Reuters) -Nick Kyrgios will miss Wimbledon and the entire grasscourt season due to a minor setback in his recovery from injury, the Australian said on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old has struggled with a litany of foot, knee and wrist injuries since his runner-up finish at Wimbledon in 2022 and has played only four singles matches this year.
He recorded his first singles win since 2022 at the Miami Open in March but pulled out of the French Open with a knee issue.
"I've hit a small setback in my recovery and unfortunately won't make it back for grass season this year," Kyrgios posted on social media.
"I know how much you've all been looking forward to seeing me out there, and I'm genuinely sorry to disappoint. This is just a bump in the road though, and I'm already working hard to get back stronger than ever."
Wimbledon, the third Grand Slam of the year, starts on June 30.

There's no room for sentimentalism in Malaysian football
THE national football team have never looked quite like this. The latest squad announcement by national coach Peter Cklamovski for the Asian Cup qualifier against Vietnam on June 10 has added fresh fuel to an old debate — how much is too much when it comes to naturalised and heritage players? Names like Facundo Garces Rodrigo Holgado, Imanol Machuca, Jon Irazabal and Joao Figueiredo may not ring a bell for the average Malaysian football fan yet. All five are foreign-born, eligible through ancestry, and come with experience in tougher, more competitive leagues abroad. Cklamovski, a coach known for his attention to tactical detail and modern playing style, has not been afraid to shake things up since taking the reins. His latest call-ups see the inclusion of five new names — all foreign-born, all eligible to don the Harimau Malaya jersey, and all bringing valuable experience from higher-level competitions abroad. But they're not alone. They join a squad already boasting a well-established international core, including Endrick dos Santos, Dion Cools, Corbin Ong, Matthew Davies, Junior Eldstal, Gabriel Palmero, Stuart Wilkin, Nooa Laine, Hector Hevel and Romel Morales. It's a line-up that look more like a continental club side than a traditional national team and that's precisely what has some fans talking. The question isn't whether these players are good enough, most of them have already proved their worth. The bigger issue, at least among some corners of the footballing public, is whether Malaysia is losing sight of its local footballing identity in the pursuit of progress. But here's the reality. International football has changed. The days when national squads were built purely from domestic academies and local leagues are long gone. Look around the world — from Qatar and Indonesia to even England and France — you'll see teams that have blended their native core with foreign-born talent, often to great success. Malaysia are not an outlier. If anything, they're late to the party. Players like captain Cools, Davies and Dos Santos have already become fan favourites. They've been through the heat of Southeast Asian derbies, endured the scrutiny, and fought for results. They're not tourists, they're professionals who've bought into the badge and the expectations that come with it. Others like Hevel and Wilkin have gradually s ettled into the rhythm of international duty, showing that integration can work when the system is right. That's where Cklamovski comes in. The Australian has set out to build not just a team but a system. One that relies on structure, pressing, transitions, and control. For that, he needs players who understand modern football's demands — mentally, physically and tactically. Vietnam, Harimau Malaya's upcoming opponents, are everything Cklamovski is trying to model — fast, organised, intelligent. To compete, Malaysia can't afford to rely purely on passion or grit. They need technical precision, decision-making under pressure, and squad depth. The blend of players in this latest call-up gives them that, perhaps for the first time in years. Still, the scepticism is understandable. For decades, Malaysian fans have taken pride in watching home-developed players rise through the ranks and earn their place. The sight of a boy from a local field making it to Bukit Jalil is something supporters connect with on an emotional level. That pathway should never be closed, and Cklamovski doesn't appear to be closing it. There are still local-developed players in the mix. Many of the foreign-born players now wear the Malaysian jersey not just because of the eligibility rules, but because they've lived here, played here, and grown within the system. This isn't about replacing local talent, it's about raising standards across the board. Football isn't sentimental; it's ruthless. Malaysia want to compete at the Asian Cup regularly and qualify for the World Cup one day. To do that, they need results, not just romance. Against Vietnam, the pressure will be on. The atmosphere will be intense. But Malaysia go into this battle with options, something that hasn't always been the case. Cklamovski knows what he's doing. He's assembling a squad that can not only challenge the region's best, but push beyond Southeast Asia's glass ceiling. It may not be everyone's vision of a national team, but it just might be the version Malaysia need right now. If it works and results start to follow, the noise will die down. As always in football, winning changes everything.

Djokovic turns to drop shot magic in testing French Open win
PARIS, June 5 — Novak Djokovic hit a barrage of drop shots to beat Alexander Zverev for a place in the French Open semi-finals on Wednesday and the Serbian said his hand was forced by windy conditions that left him feeling like he had two opponents. Djokovic produced 35 of the delicate best from his racket in a 4-6 6-3 6-2 6-4 win, his 101st victory at Roland Garros, which kept his quest for a 25th Grand Slam title alive and earned him a semi-final with top seed Jannik Sinner. 'Against the wind, especially that side where I was playing the last game, I felt the wind increased in the last few games,' Djokovic told reporters. 'It was almost playing against two players. I feel the ball isn't going anywhere you're hitting it. People don't see that on the TV, but on the court, you can feel it a lot. 'I was just trying to mix it up. At one point, I felt like I couldn't go through him, so I tried to bring him to the net and risk it with the drop shot, serve and volley. It had to be done. 'I was tense, to finish off the match, and he was playing consistent from the back of the court in the last game, wasn't making errors and was making me work.' Djokovic arrived in Paris having won his 100th tour-level title in Geneva to open his account in an otherwise lacklustre year where he crashed out early in several big tournaments. He said in Madrid that he was coming to terms with a 'new reality' in tennis of trying to win a match or two. 'That wasn't a great feeling, but it's something I haven't experienced for many years, 20 years I've been playing. That's why I said I have to try to find a way to bounce back at the Grand Slams,' he added. 'It's no secret it's been like that for years but especially now it's all about Grand Slams for me, trying to raise the level and play my best tennis at these four tournaments. This is what I've been managing to do. 'The win against Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open, the win in the quarter-finals tonight against Zverev proves to myself and others that I can still play on the highest level, and I just thrive on these occasions. 'This is where I lock in and really give my best. So I just hope that I'll be able to physically keep up with Sinner in few days' time. It's a big challenge for me.' — Reuters

Top seed Sinner outclasses Bublik to reach French Open semi-finals
Paris – Jannik Sinner booked a second consecutive semi-final appearance at Roland Garros on Wednesday with a typically ruthless straight-sets victory over unseeded Kazakh Alexander Bublik. The world number one cruised through his quarter-final 6-1, 7-5, 6-0 in just one hour and 49 minutes on Court Philippe Chatrier, and has yet to drop a set at the French Open this year. Sinner will next face Novak Djokovic for a place in Sunday's final, after the 24-time Grand Slam champion overcame Alexander Zverev in four sets. "(Djokovic) has shown in this recent period that he's back to his level," said Sinner of his last-four opponent. "He plays very, very well, so it's going to be quite tactical, but also very difficult. He's such an experienced player — 24 Grand Slams. I think that says everything." Sinner and Djokovic are level at 4–4 in their previous encounters. However, the Italian has triumphed in their last three meetings, including a four-set win in the Australian Open semi-finals last year en route to his first major title. World number two Carlos Alcaraz revealed that his quarter-final dismantling of Tommy Paul on Tuesday was partly "inspired" by Sinner and the Italian's efficient, time-conscious approach throughout the tournament. Sinner has spent under 10 hours on court in his first five matches, systematically dismantling his opponents with minimal loss of games. "He [Sinner] inspired me in some ways to give 100 percent in every match. I see how important it is to play such a high level throughout the whole match, so you have more time to recover afterwards," Alcaraz told reporters after his 94-minute victory. The 23-year-old Sinner demonstrated exactly what Alcaraz meant by wrapping up the opening set in just over half an hour. Bublik, ranked 62nd, gained a foothold in the second set and matched Sinner for much of the frame, but failed to force a break point or apply consistent pressure on the Italian. The Kazakh then handed Sinner the opportunity to take a two-set lead with a double fault while serving at 30–40 in the 11th game. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Sinner held to love in the next game to close out the set. He began the third with a second consecutive break of serve and powered through the remainder of the set, sealing victory on his first match point with a whipped cross-court forehand. "I just tried to stay focused on my side of the court, to stay as solid as possible, because he [Bublik] can have ups and downs," said Sinner. "It was a good performance from my side... against these kinds of players, you have to be very consistent." Sinner has now won four of his five matches against Bublik — his only defeat coming when he was forced to retire through injury while trailing the 27-year-old in Halle two years ago. "We've played a couple of times before so I knew a bit what to expect, but with him you never really know what's going to happen," added Sinner of his unconventional opponent.
