Nick Kyrgios experienced a devastating setback in his singles career when he was forced to retire during his match against Botic van de Zandschulp at Indian Wells due to a right wrist injury. Trailing 7-6 (9-7), 3-0 at the BNP Paribas Open, Kyrgios emotionally conceded the match after holding a set point earlier. He had struggled with wrist pain in practice leading up to the event and expressed that this injury is one of the biggest obstacles in his career, despite his efforts to recover and return to competitive play.
Kyrgios, who had earlier held a set point in the first-set tiebreaker, became visibly upset while talking to his trainer before wiping away tears and walking over to Van de Zandschulp to concede the match.
Reality, it's not too bad, but for my tennis career, it's by far the biggest. Just the amount of work that goes in when I go back home or when I'm not playing, it's not fun.
