After the Laver Cup, Kyrgios announced that he’ll take a break from tennis as he had been struggling with injuries. Kyrgios said on his Instagram story, “Hey guys, over the last couple months, I haven’t been near 100% healthy. I’ve been dealing with left knee patella [tendinopathy], and continuing to play without fully treating it can lead to further pain and greater set backs.” USA Today via Reuters Aug 9, 2021; Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Nick Kyrgios of Australia goes to return a ball to Reilly Opelka of the United States (not pictured) at Aviva Centre.

I’m disappointed it has kept me from playing my best tennis, and hopefully, with everything going smoothly, I’ll be back to 100% by the Australian Open. All love,” ADVERTISEMENT
