PARIS, May 24 — Firebrand Nick Kyrgios pulled out of Roland Garros today, just days after saying the French Open “sucks”. Organisers confirmed the Australian’s withdrawal from the second Grand Slam tournament of the season and he will be replaced by a lucky loser from qualifying.Last week, Kyrgios was disqualified from the Italian Open in Rome and headed straight to London to practice with Andy Murray at Wimbledon.
“I think this is the best tournament in the world, look at this perfect green surface,” Kyrgios wrote on Instagram alongside a picture of him sitting on the grass courts.“The French Open sucks compared to this place. Sucks. Absolute sucks.” Kyrgios also withdrew from the French Open last year and has never reached the second week in Paris. — AFP
