Kyrgios cries after injury: dream of duel with Djokovic bursts!

Indian Wells, USA - A bitter setback for the Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios! The 29-year-old had to give up on March 7, 2025 at the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Indian Wells after only 1 hour and 23 minutes. In the first set against the Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp, Kyrgios was initially 6: 7 and 0: 3 when he made the decision to end the game. A recurring wrist injury that has been plaguing it has once again been a great obstacle, which is why the Australian had to break off the match in tears, like laola1.at reported .

with Kyrgios' withdrawal, the hopes for a meeting with the Serbian record champion Novak Djokovic are gone in the second round. The defending champion will now meet Van de Zandschulp. Kyrgios himself emotionally commented on Instagram: "It was an emotional night for me. I thank everyone who helps me keep my head up. I'll come back." It remains unclear whether he can compete in Miami at the upcoming Masters tournament, even though his "Protected Ranking" would guarantee him a place in the main field.
