Nick Kyrgios has had surgery after pulling out of the Australian Open with a knee injury.
“I’ll be doing everything I can to get back to my best,” the 27-year-old said on Instagram, alongside a photograph of himself in a hospital bed.
The Australian was also unable to defend his doubles crown.
Kyrgios, who withdrew because of a cyst growing in his meniscus, expects to be fully recovered to play at Indian Wells in March.
“To the real ones checking in and sending the vibes…. I love you,” he added.
