Nick Kyrgios will miss Wimbledon this year

LONDON — Nick Kyrgios, the Wimbledon runner-up in 2022, will miss the Grand Slam tournament and the rest of the grass-court season, he said. The 30-year-old Australian has dealt with injuries in recent seasons, including wrist and knee operations. He's played only five singles matches in 2025, going 1-4. His most recent tournament was the Miami Open in March, when he won a match for the first time in nearly 2 1/2 years. 'I've hit a small setback in my recovery and unfortunately won't make it back for grass season this year,' Kyrgios posted. He's ranked 633rd. He was as high as 13th in 2016. Three years ago at the All England Club, he made his best run at a major tournament by getting to the final before losing to Novak Djokovic. Wimbledon begins on June 30.

Nick Kyrgios ‘genuinely sorry to disappoint' after Wimbledon injury blow

The Australian has not played at the All England Club since reaching his only grand slam singles final in 2022, where he was beaten by Novak Djokovic. After more than two years on the sidelines with knee and wrist problems, Kyrgios returned at the start of this season but was forced to abandon plans to play doubles at the French Open after suffering another knee injury. Nick Kyrgios worked as a TV pundit at Wimbledon last year (Aaron Chown/PA) And he has now revealed he will not be able to play in his favourite part of the season, writing on Instagram: 'Just wanted to give everyone a quick update – I've hit a small setback in my recovery and unfortunately won't make it back for grass this year. '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. 'Thank you for all your continued support – it means everything to me. See you soon!' The 30-year-old's career was put in jeopardy by a torn ligament in his wrist in 2023, which required surgery and kept him out for a year and a half. He finally returned to action in January but admitted after losing to Britain's Jacob Fearnley in the first round of the Australian Open that he might have played his last singles match at Melbourne Park. He was in tears when more pain in his wrist prompted him to retire at Indian Wells in March, although he did win his first singles match since 2022 against Mackenzie McDonald in Miami later that month in what was his most recent tournament. Kyrgios was still a draw at Wimbledon last year after moving into TV punditry, while he will be appearing at the New Wimbledon Theatre on June 24 as part of the live tour of his podcast 'Good Trouble'.

Three years ago at the All England Club, he made his best run at a major tournament by getting to the final before losing to Novak Djokovic. Back in January in the Australian Open, Kyrgios was shockingly eliminated from the Australian Open in the first round by Jacob Fearnley and then said that this might have been his last singles match at the tournament. 'Realistically I can't see myself playing a singles match here again. It's hard. When you're competing for the biggest tournaments in the world and you're struggling to win sets physically, it's pretty tough,' Kyrgios said. 'But I've still got a long year ahead. I'm trusting the process that I can still be able to do some cool things this year at some stage. All my focus now is just not taking anything for granted,' he added. The Australian favourite struggled with an abdominal strain as he bowed out of Melbourne Park with a 7-6(3) 6-3 7-6(2) defeat to world number 92 Fearnley to the dismay of a packed crowd at John Cain Arena.
