MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Nick Kyrgios has pulled out of the Australian Open a day before he was scheduled to play his first-round match because of an injured knee.
Kyrgios was the runner-up at Wimbledon last year in singles and the men’s doubles champion at the Australian Open and was considered the host country’s strongest chance to win a title at Melbourne Park this year.
Kyrgios announced his withdrawal on Monday, Day 1 of action at the year’s first Grand Slam tournament.
