Nick Kyrgios Withdraws From US Open Third Consecutive Year

Nick Kyrgios has withdrawn from the US Open men's singles for the third consecutive year due to ongoing injuries, marking another setback in his struggling tennis career. The 30-year-old Australian, who reached the Wimbledon final in 2022 and the US Open quarterfinals that year, has been plagued by foot, knee, and wrist injuries, limiting his appearances and success since then. After missing most of the 2023 and 2024 seasons and winning only one singles match in 2025, Kyrgios has not played any singles matches since March's Miami Open and recently reported persistent wrist and knee problems. His withdrawal from both the mixed doubles and men's singles draws at the US Open means he will be replaced by a lucky loser from the qualifying rounds. Despite efforts to revive his career, including a doubles appearance in July, Kyrgios continues to face significant physical challenges that have led to missing 11 of the last 12 Grand Slam tournaments. His absence is a substantial blow to the tournament and Australian tennis hopefuls, who face tough draws themselves.
