Nick Kyrgios withdraws from US Open, will now miss all 4 Grand Slams in 2023
Nick Kyrgios won’t make the trek to New York this month after all.
Kyrgios officially withdrew from the US Open on Thursday, meaning he’ll now miss all four Grand Slam tournaments this season. Kyrgios has dealt with various injuries throughout the year, and has competed in just one singles match all season.

Kyrgios first missed the Australian Open due to a left knee injury, which prompted him to get surgery. That knocked him out of the French Open, too. Then in June, Kyrgios pulled out of Wimbledon due to a wrist injury.
It’s unclear why Kyrgios withdrew from the US Open specifically. Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff also withdrew Thursday. Those two were replaced by Argentina’s Facundo Diaz Acosta and Diego Schwartzman in the field.
Kyrgios made it to the Wimbledon final in 2022, though he fell to Novak Djokovic. He fell in the US Open quarterfinals last year to Karen Khachanov, which marked his deepest run in the tournament in his career.
Kyrgios’ one match this season came against China’s Yibing Wu in Stuttgart, Germany, in June. He has since fallen to No. 92 in the world rankings. It’s now unknown when Kyrgios will take the court again, though the Australian native may now simply wait until next season.
US Open brackets will be determined Aug. 24, and singles play will begin Aug. 28.
