Nick Kyrgios’ anticipated return to the French Open, his first since 2017, to play doubles with Jordan Thompson has been thwarted by a new knee injury.

The 30-year-old Australian has been plagued by numerous foot, knee, and wrist injuries since his 2022 Wimbledon final run and has competed in only four singles matches this year.

Kyrgios, who last competed at Roland Garros in a second-round loss eight years ago, had planned to support his media activities in Paris by filling in for Thompson’s regular doubles partner, Max Purcell, who is currently serving a doping ban.

“Nick was really excited about playing here. He kept messaging me every week, asking if I was ready for doubles at Roland Garros," Thompson told Australian media at Roland Garros on Monday.

“I know he was back in Australia training on clay, but a few days ago, Nick informed me that he had injured his knee, so he couldn’t make it. He was quite disappointed. He mentioned he wasn’t sure how many more injuries he could handle, and you have to feel for him because, despite what he says in the media, I believe he loves playing tennis and being on the court."

Thompson has instead partnered with fellow Australian Jason Kubler, and they will face the French duo Quentin Halys and Albano Olivetti in the first round on Tuesday.
