“We used the charity event against Novak [Djokovic on Friday] to see if he could compete at the highest level,” he said.
Kyrgios will go under the knife to remove the cyst and spend a few weeks recovering before the Indian Wells Masters kicks off in California in March.
“The last slam I played was the US Open and I was very hard on myself after that,” he said.
“This injury hinders my knee, it hinders my movement. The only way to fix it is to get in there.
“It’s just bad timing. That’s life, you know. Injuries are part of sport … I’m not doubting that I’ll be back to my full strength.”
