Nick Kyrgios skips Wimbledon 2023: "I have a problem"

Here are his specific words: "Hi everyone, I'm really sad to inform you that I have to retire from Wimbledon this year. I did my best to be ready after my surgery and to be able to hit the Wimbledon courts again.

On my way back, I experienced some pain in my wrist during my week in Mallorca. As a precaution, I performed a check, which revealed a problem with the wrist ligament. I tried everything to be able to play and I'm disappointed to say I didn't have enough time to make it before Wimbledon.

I will be back and, as always, appreciate the support from all my fans."
