London: Nick Kyrgios has hinted that his Wimbledon journey has come to an emotional end after suffering a first-round doubles defeat, admitting it was “probably” his final appearance at the prestigious Grand Slam. The Australian star, who reached the Wimbledon singles final in 2022, teamed up with Alexander Bublik in the doubles event but the pair were defeated 6-3, 6-4 by the experienced duo of Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic. Following the loss, Kyrgios reflected on his time at the All England Club, revealing that he spent the closing moments of the match taking in the atmosphere, aware that it could be his final Wimbledon appearance.
I would probably say pretty confidently my last Wimbledon.
I was looking around and taking everything in. It was tough,” Kyrgios said. The 30-year-old described his run to the 2022 Wimbledon final—where he finished runner-up to Novak Djokovic—as one of the greatest achievements of his career. However, recurring injuries have made it increasingly difficult for him to compete at the highest level.
That final will always be one of the best memories of my career, but I just can’t see myself getting back to that level again,” he admitted.
