In a recent interview, Kyrgios said that due to his injuries, he has accepted the reality of not being able to play in the future, contemplating retirement. Surprisingly, he is okay with the fact that he is not playing again. With no interest in representing his country in the Olympics, the Australian might not be seen on the court in the future. 

One thing I will guarantee, though, is that if I am fit and ready to play, I won’t be making myself available for the Olympics. The way I was treated by the Australian Olympic Committee and former Chef de Mission Kitty Chiller will never be forgotten.

Nonetheless, Kyrgios is going strong with his life outside the tennis court. From commentating to hosting podcasts, the Australian has been enjoying the time off the court and is excited to do this in the future. He officially confirmed his absence from the Olympics and won’t be playing for his team.

As one of the most talented stars to ever lay foot on a tennis court, Kyrgios has not been very active in the sport and just when he realized his potential, he suffered an injury to put him out of the tour. There were hopes for his comeback this year, but after now, the hopes seem bleak as Kyrgios might not be featured.
