Nick Kyrgios withdraws from Wimbledon on eve of Championships with wrist injury

Nick Kyrgios has withdrawn from this year's Wimbledon through injury.

The 28-year-old Australian, who was beaten by Novak Djokovic in last year's final, has picked up a wrist issue. He confirmed the disappointing news with a statement on Instagram on Sunday evening, just hours before the Grand Slam tournament starts.

Kyrgios was scheduled to play Belgian star David Goffin, who is a former quarter-finalist at SW19, on Court One on Monday. It's the third Grand Slam he's missed this year after withdrawing from the Australian Open and the French Open due to injury.
