After undergoing knee surgery, Nick Kyrgios is prepared to do all he can do to return to his best.
When he had to drop out of the Australian Open, the Wimbledon runner-up from last year was “devastated.”
After an MRI of his knee revealed a cyst caused by a little lateral meniscus tear, Kyrgios was disqualified from his home grand slam.
The world number 21 disclosed on Monday that he had surgery and is eager to get started on the road to recovery.
He posted on Instagram: “Surgery complete. I’ll be doing everything I can do get back to my best. To the real ones checking in and sending the vibes…. I love you.”
Kyrgios won the seventh ATP Tour singles title of his career in Washington last August and claimed the Australian Open men’s doubles title with Thanasi Kokkinakis in his homeland 12 months ago.
The 27-year-old was beaten by Novak Djokovic in his maiden major singles final at the All England Club last July.
