Nick Kyrgios explains injury reason for Wimbledon withdrawal with new plan for his career

“I did all I could to prepare to get here. I’ve beat a heck of a player in the first round and I played a great second round.

“Just to get out here again and play two sets – I tried to play as long as I could and I’m sorry I couldn’t give you more today.”

Kyrgios made a surprise confession on Friday where he stated that he would consider walking away from the sport in just two years.

“I feel like I set a goal when I was younger, I didn’t want to play past 28, 29. Like, these are the best parts, these are the best years of my life,” Kyrgios said after his mixed doubles match with Venus Williams.

“I want to spend it with my family, my partner, my friends. I feel like I have earned the right, and I’ve worked hard to have this freedom to do whatever I want after. Do you know what I mean? I’ve worked hard.

“So whether or not that’s — you never know, I might come back at 33, get a wild card, who knows. But I’m just saying, I can’t see myself playing as long as those guys.”
