A few hours before his second round match at the 2022 Mallorca Championships, Nick Kyrgios announced that he will not play due to an injury.

After playing semifinals at both grass-court events he entered this year, the Aussie was looking to extend his streak in Mallorca. However, Nick Kyrgios was stopped by an injury after defeating Laslo Djere in three sets in the first round.

In the second round, Kyrgios was supposed to play against Roberto Bautista Agut, who he named as "one of his mates" prior to their meeting. In the quarterfinals, he could have played against world number 1, Daniil Medvedev, but the Aussie wants to focus on the Wimbledon which might be in risk as he hinted in a statement.

"I'm really sorry, I'm going to have to withdraw from tonight's match here in Mallorca. I have been playing a lot of great matches lately and unfortunately I woke up with a pain in my abs. I went to see the tournament doctor right away and he advised that I don't play tonight. I really value the Mallorca Championships but I will follow his advice as I don't want to risk Wimbledon next week."
