WASHINGTON, United States — Australia’s 17th-ranked Nick Kyrgios withdrew from the ATP Washington Open on Wednesday because of a hip injury.
The 23-year-old from Canberra, who won his fourth career ATP title in January at Brisbane, retired last week from a quarterfinal match at the Atlanta Open due to the injury.
“Absolutely gutted to have to withdraw from @CitiOpen,” Kyrgios tweeted.
“I’ve done all I can to get my hip ready but ran out of time. I want to thank Keely (O’Brien, tournament director) & her team for the support and apologize to the fans. I’ll be back!”
Kyrgios, who had a first-round bye as the fifth seed, was replaced by 105th-ranked qualifying lucky loser Jason Kubler for a Wednesday match against fellow Australian James Duckworth.
