"Tennis is more fun with you in it" says former British number one Mark Petchey about Nick Kyrgios

One of the reasons Kyrgiso won't play anymore is a troubling situation in his home where his mother is not doing too well. Kyrgios admitted recently that his mother was very sick and his main focus is to be close to her during this troubling time for the family. Kyrgios also wrote on his social media that he will need to undergo treatment for a knee issue that has troubled throughout 2021.

The year has been a very tough one for Kyrgios who suffered many disappointing results. He also suffered multiple injuries and many tennis analysts have blamed that on his lack of focus and passion for tennis indicating how he is not training enough. One tennis analyst simply hopes to see Kyrgios back healthy next year.

Mark Petchey, former British number one wrote on his Twitter:

“Not sure where you are in the world right now Nick Kyrgios but take your time. Think about what makes you happy and make the decision that suits you best, but there are many in tennis who want to see you stay in the sport. You are a long time retired. Tennis is more fun with you in it.”
