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.
