Nick Kyrgios withdraws from Laver Cup, will not play for first time in event history

Team World will be missing one of it's more charismatic players during this year's Laver Cup, as Australian Nick Kyrgios has announced he will be skipping the annual event.

Kyrgios has been a staple at the Laver Cup ever since it's inception in 2017, with the Aussie always posing a threat to the dominance of Team World. However, the former World No.13 revealed he will not be participating this year, opting instead to spend time at home with his family and girlfriend.

"No Laver Cup for me this year!!" wrote Kyrgios on social media. " Just letting you all know. Gotta have that home time with my family and beautiful girlfriend."

The Laver Cup is being held at The O2 Arena in London, from September 23-25, 2022. Team Europe has won each previous edition, with the most recent occurring last September at The TD Garden in Boston, USA.
