Nick Kyrgios withdraws from playing US Open as injury troubles continue

Nick Kyrgios has withdrawn from the US Open, organisers have announced.

The 28-year-old has played just one ATP Tour match in 2023 due to injuries.

Kyrgios, the 2022 Wimbledon finalist who reached the quarter-finals at Flushing Meadows last year, missed his home Australian Open in January due to a knee injury that needed surgery.

After missing the French Open, he made his comeback in June by losing to China's Wu Yibing in Stuttgart as he attempted to get ready for Wimbledon.

But he was forced to withdraw on the eve of last month's tournament due to a wrist injury and will now miss the year's final grand slam, which gets under way in New York on August 28.
