Tennis, Kyrgios misses Roland Garros: injured in the foot during a robbery

After the Australian Open, Nick Kyrgios he will also miss Roland Garros. The 28-year-old Australian, who has been sidelined since the beginning of the year due to an operation on his injured knee just a few days before the first Grand Slam of the season, will also miss the Paris appointment, scheduled from May 28 to June 11, due to a foot injury which occurred during an attempt of robbery, which took place at the tennis player’s mother’s house.

Pistol against Kyrgios’ mother

The episode took place at the beginning of the month near Canberra. A robber allegedly broke into the home of Kyrgios’ mother, pointing a gun at her face and stealing a car, later found by police officers, who in the meantime had been called by Kyrgios himself using an app on his cell phone. However, it is not clear how the eccentric tennis player injured his foot. The news was given by Daniel Horsfall, Nick’s agent, who in an interview with the Canberra Times wanted to correct the Roland Garros organizers who had justified the absence of the number 26 in the ATP ranking with the slow recovery from knee surgery of last January.

Back on the grass

”This incident made him go back two and a half weeks compared to his schedule for returning to the field”, said Horsfall, who thus confirmed his forfeit on Paris clay. At this point Kyrgios will skip the entire clay season, probably returning to Stuttgart, one of the first events of the grass season, targeting Wimbledon, to defend last year’s final lost against his friend Djokovic.
