"I have taken a step back in my recovery process and will not be able to participate in the grass season this year," declared Nick Kyrgios a couple of weeks ago, thus closing any hopes of seeing him back on the courts. The Australian tennis player, currently ranked 633rd in the world, played in three tournaments this year: the Australian Open, Indian Wells, and the Miami Open, managing only one victory in four matches, retiring in one of them.

Injuries continue to plague Nick, who will miss his favorite part of the season. Just a week before Wimbledon 2025 begins, an event in which he reached the final three years ago, Kyrgios spoke in an interview with The Guardian about his current situation and all the uncertainties surrounding him.

"'Like a snowman in the desert'"

"Wimbledon is a special memory for me. It's the first Grand Slam where I made a breakthrough and it's the pinnacle of tennis. Every time you enter the grounds, you feel the energy and the aura, but I also don't always feel so comfortable there because I don't act like the normal tennis player. Wimbledon pays a lot of attention to that. I feel like a snowman in the desert, but I enjoy it."

His debut and statement in 2014

"I thought I was on top of the tennis world. If you play at Wimbledon several times, you play in front of the royal box on a court where all the grass is the same length. If you make it to that stage, the journey has been worth it. It changed my life, but I wasn't prepared at that age to take on that responsibility."

His struggles in 2019

"In 2019, people assumed I had an amazing year. I was in the top 20 in the world, but I was at my lowest point. When I finally opened up, that's when people began to realize that, yes, I haven't always been perfect or done things right, but I'm willing to talk about it. I've received hundreds of thousands of messages from kids on Instagram, and I try to help them however I can. I was in a dark place and didn't get better after that moment. Throughout the year, I had to fight those thoughts and self-harm, but I've been able to overcome it and help others."

About his final against Djokovic

"It's something I'll be able to share with my children and grandchildren and show them that anything is possible. The courts around my house are usually cracked cement, so the fact that I made it to the final of a Grand Slam is crazy. It was just a few points here and there where, if I had acted a little different, I could have won the Wimbledon title, but it's no shame to lose to the greatest of all time. Do I think about it often? Yes. Do I think about what could have changed? Yes. Could I have prepared better? No. I prepared incredibly."
