Nick Kyrgios retired from his first-round match at the BNP Paribas Open against Botic Van De Zandschulp due to a recurring wrist injury. Expressing frustration, he described his situation as 'an experiment,' feeling that he might never play tennis again. Even though he showcased moments of brilliance, he couldn't complete the match due to ongoing pain. Having played only one match in 2023 and absent for all of 2024, Kyrgios struggles with his competitive status and hopes for improvement in his condition post-injury.
"It's all an experiment at this point. I was told I was arguably maybe not ever playing tennis again. [But] I feel I'm like right there."
"I'm there, but if I'm not able to finish matches it doesn't really matter at this point. I'm not too sure right now."
