Tennis Bad-Boy Hints at Retirement
Nick Kyrgios has left fans in shock after strongly hinting at retirement from tennis. The controversial player recently announced that he will not be participating in the 2024 Australia Open, and now he has revealed that he doesn't "really want to play anymore."
Health Struggles Take a Toll
In a candid interview on the On Purpose podcast, Kyrgios opened up about his physical and mental exhaustion. The 28-year-old athlete admitted that he feels so "exhausted" after three surgeries that he can't even walk without pain. He expressed that if it wasn't for the support of his loved ones, he would have already walked away from the sport.
Looking for a Life Beyond Tennis
Despite his undeniable talent and potential, Kyrgios confessed that even winning Wimbledon wouldn't entice him enough to continue playing. He questioned the never-ending expectations of the "rat-race of life" and pondered how much is enough. The tennis star expressed a desire for a pain-free life and the ability to start a family.
A Disappointing Year
Kyrgios faced another challenging year due to a knee surgery, which he admits he rushed his recovery from. The setback has left him feeling disappointed, and he recently informed his subscribers on OnlyFans that he won't be able to compete at the 2024 Australian Open. It remains to be seen if this retirement bombshell is final or if Kyrgios will have a change of heart in the future.
