Nick Kyrgios withdraws from the US Open: When was the last time he played in the tournament?

Nick Kyrgios, one of Australia’s most prominent tennis figures, might not have amassed the number of tournament victories or Grand Slam titles like some of his legendary compatriots, but his flamboyant style on the court has made him a fan favorite. Unfortunately, fans will miss his presence at the US Open this year.

Kyrgios has informed the tournament organizers that he will not compete in 2025 after making significant efforts to return to the singles circuit. The Australian has been largely absent from the ATP Tour, initially due to overcoming mental health issues and subsequently owing to a challenging injury.

His wrist injury appears to be a major impediment to his comeback in Grand Slam competitions, extending his hiatus from playing professional tennis in the United States as the final Grand Slam of the year approaches.

In fact, Kyrgios has competed in only five matches this season, securing just one victory in March against Mackenzie McDonald. The only Grand Slam he participated in was the Australian Open in January, where his campaign ended in the Round of 128.

When was the last time Kyrgios played at US Open?

Nick Kyrgios last graced the courts of the US Open in 2022, advancing to the quarterfinals before falling to Karen Khachanov. Despite strong efforts to return over the past three years, his lingering wrist issues have hampered his comeback, causing concern among his fanbase.
