Following his withdrawal from the tournament, Nick Kyrgios will not be competing at the 2023 Mallorca Championships. The 28-year-old Australian is currently facing a challenging situation. After undergoing knee surgery and subsequent recovery, he made his way to Europe to participate in the ATP Tour once again.
Kyrgios, who showcased his talent by reaching the Wimbledon finals last year, now faces uncertainty regarding his fitness as he gears up for the 2023 Wimbledon. However, being seeded in the tournament might offer him some respite, allowing him sufficient time to navigate through the initial rounds before potentially facing one of his fellow seeded players.
With only one match under his belt this season, the Australian's journey through the third Grand Slam of the year may prove to be quite demanding. Additionally, his plans to compete in the doubles tournament with his close friend Thanasi Kokkinakis might be in jeopardy if he fails to recover in time.
At present, Kyrgios must hope for a miracle to adequately prepare for the 2023 Wimbledon. The advantage of being seeded may work in his favor, but if he is forced to compete with a significant physical hindrance, it may be nearly impossible for the 2022 finalist to make a deep run in the tournament that holds great significance to him. Ultimately, only time will reveal whether he can overcome these obstacles and make a timely return.
