The post received a host of similar reactions, some believing that he was past his prime, while others pointing out that it should have been Carlos Alcaraz or Iga Swiatek instead.
@rafastefbaes Expecting Kyrgios to be the next big thing is so 2014....please
@rafastefbaes Literally the only thing we're expecting for him is to retire
@rafastefbaes Also he's like 29 the next big thing is Alcaraz lmfao
@rafastefbaes the nerve of them to show him between iga and carlitos when it said ‘who will take their place’😭😭😭
The docuseries is expected to have a positive effect on the game, similar to what the "Formula 1: Drive to Survive" series did for the motor sport. From the trailer, the series will give viewers a glimpse of the players' life off-court, the rigorous training that they endure and their journey to becoming star players.
Nick Kyrgios pulls out of Adelaide International 2 2023 due to injury
Adelaide International 2 is set to begin next week from January 10 to January 15. The first of the two mixed ATP-WTA events is currently underway with top seed Novak Djokovic headlining it.
Nick Kyrgios was due to compete at the Adelaide International 2 alongside Andrey Rublev, Lorenzo Musetti and Dan Evans. However, the Australian recently pulled out due to an ankle injury. He had also pulled out of the United Cup earlier for the same reason, sparking concerns about his fitness and participation at the upcoming Australian Open.
However, the Wimbledon finalist's manager, Daniel Horsfall, has since clarified that, although Kyrgios is taking time to recover, he will be competing at Melbourne Park.
Adelaide International's tournament director, Alistair MacDonald, expressed his concern for the World No. 22 and wished him well for the Australian Open.
" We know that the Adelaide International was a key lead-up event for Nick, and I know he is dissappointed to not be able to play in Adelaide this year," said Adelaide International tournament director, Alistair MacDonald. "We wish him well for the Australian Open."
The Aussie will dive straight into a Grand Slam to kick off his 2023 season.
