Nick Kyrgios withdraws from Paris Masters, puts ATP Finals in doubt

| by Sebastian Dahlman

The 2022 Paris Masters will be held without Nick Kyrgios as he was forced to withdraw from the event due to a knee injury.

During his career, Nick Kyrgios never played the Paris Masters and this year it seemed that it may be the first appearance for the 27-years-old Australian. He was set to end his year with a trip to Europe to compete at the Swiss Indoors in Basel, Paris Masters and also the ATP Finals where he's set to compete alongside Thanasi Kokkinakis.

However, the 2022 Wimbledon finalist is often troubled by his knee that is also a cause for his withdrawal from the 2022 Paris Masters. Just a few days ago, Kyrgios stated that "he's still hungry" but he won't be able to compete as he imagined in the remainder of this season.

His injuries are probably also one of the reasons why the Australian stated that he may not play tennis after he turns 30, when he said: "Honestly probably not. I wanna be able to not be bothered. Probs gonna go to my house in the Bahamas and just sit and do nothing."

After his withdrawal from the event in France, Nick Kyrgios withdrew also from the 2022 Swiss Indoors in Basel and therefore ended his singles season this year. However, it's still not clear if he will appear alongside Thanasi Kokkinakis at the ATP Finals.
