Nick Kyrgios won't play any tennis down under before the Australian Open as he withdrew from the Adelaide International 2 event next week.

He was scheduled to play for his country in the United Cup but withdrew late due to an injury and it's likely to keep him out of the Adelaide event next week as well. His Australian Open is not in doubt according to reports but these late withdrawals are certainly not the ideal situation for him. His agent was the one that broke the news:

“We are very excited and working every day to make sure we’re ready for the Australian Open. A lot of people were upset after he pulled out of the United Cup, but I hope they now realise the injury is genuine. I wish more people would ask questions before putting in their two cents.”

The tournament director in Adelaide also offered some comments after Kyrgios pulled out of the event:

“The event is clearly disappointed in this decision, as would be the fans who support him, but injury happens and health is always the priority. The Adelaide International wishes Nick Kyrgios the best of luck and a quick recovery, understanding the importance of the Australian Open preparation.”
