Nick Kyrgios’ grass-court season may be over after a couple of singles match.

The 2022 Wimbledon finalist Kyrgios withdrew from this week’s Halle tournament due to a right knee injury.

Currently ranked No. 899, Kyrgios was not awarded a Wimbledon main-draw wild card today.

Instead, three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka, former ATP Finals champion Grigor Dimitrov and Britons Arthur Fery, Jacob Fearnley, Jack Pinnington Jones and Toby Samuel were awarded Wimbledon men’s main-draw wild cards with two men’s main-draw wild cards still available.

Last week, Kygios defeated Corentin Moutet 6-3, 6-4 in his Stuttgart comeback match before bowing to world No. 104 Sho Shimabukuro 6-4, 6-7(5), 4-6 in the second round.

In an Instagram Stories post today, Kyrgios announced he will play an Ultimate Tennis Showdown event set for July 16-18th in Rio de Janeiro
