After pulling out of this year’s US Open, Kyrgios has now missed 11 of the last 12 Grand Slams, having only featured at the 2025 Australian Open.
Kyrgios returned to action at the Washington Open in July and played his first professional match since the Miami Open in March.
The Australian partnered with ATP veteran Gael Monfils in the US capital, but bowed out in the first round to the team of Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Hugo Nys.
After announcing he would not feature at Wimbledon, Kyrgios was hoping to be ready to play singles during the North American hard-court swing, but suffered another setback in his fitness.
Amid injury struggles that have kept him sidelined during the US Open, the 30-year-old has taken to social media to self-reflect.

In a post on his Instagram story, Kyrgios uploaded a photo of himself in action, pain-free, with the caption: “This picture reminds me of how things can change so quickly.
“I played my best tennis and was right there knocking on the door of a [Grand] Slam. And suddenly my body broke.
“Sidelined, it was all taken, though it was one of the hardest things, that’s life.
“Cherish every moment, but at the same time realise that when you have it all figured out, things can change in an instant.”

Kyrgios has played just five singles matches on the ATP Tour this season, featuring at four events earlier in the season.
He kicked off 2025 with a first-round exit at the Brisbane International before entering his home Grand Slam, the Australian Open, appearing at a major for the first time since the 2022 US Open.
In round one, Kyrgios crashed out of the tournament after suffering defeat to Britain’s Jacob Fearnley in straight sets.

Then, at Indian Wells, he went out in his opening match against Botic van de Zandschulp before claiming his first singles win of the season over Mackenzie McDonald at the Miami Open.
Since his second-round loss in the second half of the ‘Sunshine Double’ to Karen Khachanov, he has not played a tour-level singles match.
