True to its nature, this year’s ancient Slam is witnessing the legends again making their mark. Though Andy Murray could not sustain for long in the game, he did entertain the audience and delivered some incredible memories. Venus Williams, too, displayed mindblowing courage at 43 years, fighting her first battle against Elina Svitolina with a severe knee injury that caused her to limp her way through the match.
On the other hand, Nick Kyrgios is facing perhaps one of the worst years of his career that is ridden with injuries and trauma. The Aussie star took to his social media to express his disappointment in not being to be able to play at Wimbledon Championships. He shared a video of a fan that deeply disturbed him.

On his Instagram account, Kyrgios posted a video of the fan who traveled from Australia to England to witness the game of his icon live. But the twenty-eight-year-old pulled out from the tournament at the last moment, which downhearted all his fans. He is a promising talent at the peak of his career, and the injuries are taking away precious time from his career.
The fan talked to a reporter of ‘9 News’ and shared his concern. He was in tears while saying, “I came all the way from Australia, and this morning, we caught the tram, and I almost cried hearing that Nick Kyrgios wouldn’t play. I don’t know what I am gonna do anymore. How am I supposed to go home?”?
The video got people really emotional, and Kyrgios captioned it, “Missing wimby ? wish I was healthy woulda been a nice little run.”?Though Kyrgios is trying to take part in the tournaments, his body is not cooperating with him at all, and he has been forced to retire every time he tries to play.
Nick Kyrgios barely played a match this season so far
The ‘Breakpoint’ star was set to play the Grass Slam but backed up when an analyst advised him against it. He had a serious wrist injury, and applying pressure on it only worsens it further. He shared another story in which he covered half his face with his wrist that was covered with supporting pieces of equipment. The story was captioned, “Hopefully see you all soon when I’m healthy ???.”

Kyrgios started the season by withdrawing from his home Slam, Australian Open, due to a knee injury. From that moment on, nothing went well for him. His mother was attacked at gunpoint and was robbed of the car she was in. But due to the quick wit of the former 13th seed, the police were able to catch the culprit.
His girlfriend, Costeen Hatzi, has been with him and his family all through the troubles. He shared that it would have been impossible for him to survive these disturbing times without her presence in his life.
