Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios faces another setback in his career due to an ongoing wrist injury.
The pain in his surgically repaired right wrist forced him to withdraw from the Indian Wells tournament, marking a significant challenge in his pursuit to maintain a consistent professional career.
Kyrgios was trailing 3-0 in the second set of his match when the pain in his wrist became too much to continue.
Despite having a set point in the first set, he lost the tiebreaker and struggled to recover from the injury.
Throughout his career, Kyrgios has battled injuries, with his wrist being a recurring issue that required surgery.
While Kyrgios has shown considerable promise and a unique style on the court, physical setbacks continue to disrupt his potential achievements.
Indian Wells was expected to be a chance for Kyrgios to showcase his return after rehabilitation, but the recurrence of wrist pain dashed those hopes.
