Nick Kyrgios will stay in Melbourne until Friday to support his fellow Australians as he prepares for knee surgery next week.
on Monday, Kyrgios said he had no regrets about the decision.
While in Melbourne, he will support Australians in the early rounds of the tournament – including de Minaur, who was last weekDe Minaur was short with reporters in Sydney three weeks ago when asked about Kyrgios’ late scratching from the United Cup. Kyrgios said there was no feud. There may be no feud with de Minaur, but a growing list of former players continue to take shots at Kyrgios.Pat Cash also said Tennis Australia bent over backwards to help Kyrgios prepare for the Open by allowing him to play an exhibition match against Novak Djokovic on Rod Laver Arena.“Everyone has their two cents,” Kyrgios said. “Everyone will kind of speculate or assume how I’m feeling ... Maybe just next time appreciate a bit more understanding that there could be something going on.
“Playing through pain, I gave myself the best chance. I gave myself a shot to play but I wasn’t able to do it. The rest is all outside noise. I still think I’ve gone about it the right way. It’s still a successful AO for me in the sense I did a lot of things outside the tennis court which was very important for me. I still feel like I’m part of it.”Kyrgios still thought about playing at the Australian Open despite the injury but his mindset has changed over the years.
