Nick Kyrgios has withdrawn from Wimbledon, with the Australian struck down with a wrist injury on the eve of the tournament.
Hah, the guy is an embarrassment to Australia, he has no ticker.
As soon as he announced his intention to play at Wimbledon I knew he would weasel out, he needs to walk away from the game and make room for someone who wants to play.
Sorry I disagree Santa, He is a brilliant tennis player (albeit that he is a prima donna sometimes), and I think he is doing the right thing to drop out if injured. As for being an embarrassment, it is my belief that he one of the best, particularly on grass court.
Imagine the outcry if he played and had to quit mid tournament, or played below standard - the bookies would go berserk.

Back to the point he can enter another tournament only to retire injured again as play is about to commence.

Anyhow, he will not be missed in my opinion, I am sure there is plenty of talent out there and hopefully without the "showmanship" and self opinionated garbage he demonstrates.
Ahh, remember the REAL champion and TRUE sports person of recent times, Ash Barty. Shame some of her attitude didn't rub of to him.

Hmmmm. Wrist Injury?
Anybody got any idea how Kyrgios may have suffered such a wrist injury? .
Nah, surely not! Cheers

I believe tennis needs a Kyrgios at the moment, besides when he was being a bit different, how old was he? have a look around at the modern day breed at his age or younger, MMMMMM.
he has the talent to win a few majors and actually puts a lot of money back into troubled kids that were around his age when he hit the spotlight.

He is a spoilt obnoxious brat who throws the towel in at the first sign of defeat looming. He could have been a Champion once but he chose his own path instead of applying himself he decided to be the victim.
Giving such a person your sympathy will not help him in any way it will only reinforce what he is doing. He needs to take personal responsibility for his actions, maybe then he can truly win.

Gees. You people should get a job in the media. You'll all over qualified given the only requirement is to spout out your opinion about something you have little or no idea about and treat like the truth.
But do feel free to continue to regale us with tales of your experiences as a elite sports person.

Not quite correct, it was a commentator who suggested he not return, he wouldn't be missed, as I said, no ticker.
"Last years Wimbledon runner-up Nick Kyrgios has found himself on the end of a brutal sledge following his shock withdrawal from the tournament.Kyrgios was scheduled to make his return from a knee injury against David Goffin on Monday in the first round of the grass-court major, however a wrist injury threw his Wimbledon campaign into chaos after he was forced to pull out of the event, only hours before his match.
The Australian tennis star received backlash over his decision, with popular tennis commentator Chris The Tennis Talker Goldsmith slamming Kyrgios on social media.
Those that say Nick Kyrgios is good for tennis are wrong, Goldsmith wrote on Twitter.
No integrity whatsoever. Pulls out of singles and doubles a few hours before the tournament."
Another ALT into Qualifying missed a place, all because he likes to mess about.
Dont come back to SW19.

Geez, we didn't realise we were over qualified at all. However, we, like yourself, have opinions based on our own feelings (such as you have Cobber) and yes, we will continue to express them as required by us. For example some do not see him as an "elite", more of a "loud mouth". Some on here, including myself, prefer to focus on real champions and good sports people. eg. as I posted above about the Great Ash Barty.

I don't like his carry on either but you cannot deny he has talent and is very, very good at tennis.
Since probably Ilie Nastasi onwards, they all seem to be brats and prima donnas. Some are better behaved but then revert to type when something goes against them. Even Federer could put on a tantrum in earlier years.

Federer was a class act, unlike Krygios.

Wimbledon pays tribute to most prolific men's singles champion Roger Federer, as Carlos Alcaraz impresses

Roger Federer has been given a standing ovation as the eight-time winner of the men's singles at the All England Club was honoured on day two of The Championships.
Key points:
Australia's Alex de Minaur called Federer the "definition of masterful elegance on a tennis court"
Andy Murray played some of his best tennis as Federer watched on Centre Court
The majority of play on outside courts was washed out on day two
The crowd roared and rose to their feet as the retired Swiss great entered the Royal Box to sit between his wife Mirka and Catherine, Princess of Wales.
Wearing a cream-coloured suit with his purple All England Club member's pin attached to a lapel, Federer waved and tapped his chest, repeatedly saying, "thank you", as the applause and roars cascaded under the closed retractable roof on a rainy day at the grass-court grand slam.
Federer, who turns 42 in August, announced his retirement at the end of last year following a series of knee operations.
The last match of his career was a quarter-final loss to Hubert Hurkacz at the All England Club in 2021.
The straight-sets loss was only the third time overall and first since 2002 that Federer had lost in that manner on the hallowed turf of the All England Club.
It ran in stark contrast to the beautiful tennis he had conjured up on the famous courts throughout a magical career, and it was that tennis that was honoured in a tribute video that began with a long-haired Federer walking through the grounds ahead of his breakthrough 2003 title.
