Local favourite Nick Kyrgios made a huge claim about his future at the Australian Open after his shocking first-round exit against Jacob Fearnley at this year’s Grand Slam in Melbourne. Following his 6-7 (3-7), 3-6, 6-7 (2-7) loss to Fearnley, Kyrgios stated he don’t himself playing any more singles matches at the tournament.
“Realistically I can’t see myself playing a singles match here again. It’s hard. When you’re competing for the biggest tournaments in the world and you’re struggling to win sets physically, it’s pretty tough,” Kyrgios was quoted as saying as reported by The Indian Expess.
“But I’ve still got a long year ahead. I’m trusting the process that I can still be able to do some cool things this year at some stage. All my focus now is just not taking anything for granted,” he added.
