Concerning scenes at the Indian Wells! Nick Kyrgios looks in real trouble just two days ahead of his campaign at the BNP Paribas Open. Remember him struggling with his wrist issues a few years ago, which later forced him to undergo a surgery that took him out of action for quite a while? Although he made a comeback this season, Kyrgios was seen in pain during his match against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard at the Brisbane International. As things look like as of now, his Indian Wells campaign could be in some real jeopardy! Why?
Well, while speaking about his suffering with his wrists before the 2025 AO, Kyrgios said, “I’ve got six holes in my hand and one in my arm [from surgery]. Not one tennis player has ever had this surgery and come back and tried to play again.” Although he took part at his Home Slam, he was defeated by Jacob Fearnley (GBR) in the first round itself. Following that early exit, his fans were keenly waiting for his return at the Indian Wells, but recently, during a practice session, he was seen in some discomfort with his wrist.
Nick Kyrgios even had to stop his practice session, and later on, his team came up to have a look at his right wrist. He walked off the court a few minutes later. He’s all set to play against the Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp in the R128 of the 2025 Indian Wells Masters. Although he still has a bit of time to recover, it’d be interesting to see if he somehow manages to get back to his full fitness levels ahead of this enticing first-round clash. Or are we going to see him getting replaced by a lucky loser?
