Nick Kyrgios shared some disappointing news as the Australian tennis star is out of his exhibition match with Novak Djokovic due to an abdominal issue. On Thursday, the 2022 Wimbledon finalists were scheduled to meet during the "A Night With Novak" event at Melbourne Park.

Nick Kyrgios has been struck down by yet another injury on the eve of his return to grand slam tennis. The Australian former world No.13 was due to play Novak Djokovic in an exhibition match on Thursday, in the lead-up to his first Australian Open since 2022, but has withdrawn due to an abdominal injury.

Nick Kyrgios’s return to the Australian Open has been thrown into doubt amid a fresh injury scare. The Australian, who reached the Wimbledon final in 2022, returned to action in Brisbane last week after playing only one singles match since October 2022 following knee and wrist surgeries.
