Nick Kyrgios has withdrawn from this year's Wimbledon due to a wrist injury.The Australian, who was beaten in last year’s final by Novak Djokovic, had earlier conceded there were "some question marks" over his participation.In a statement posted on his social media accounts, Kyrgios wrote: "I’m really sad to say that I have to withdraw from Wimbledon this year."During my comeback, I experienced some pain in my wrist during Mallorca.

As a precaution I had it scanned and it came back showing a torn ligament in my wrist."I tried everything to be able to play and I am disappointed to say that I just didn’t have enough time to manage it before Wimbledon."Kyrgios had been scheduled to begin his campaign against Belgian former quarter-finalist David Goffin on Court One on Monday.The 28-year-old has been unable to build on his sole grand slam final appearance after withdrawing from the Australian Open in January due to a knee injury which required surgery.He had played only one match since, a defeat to Wu Yibing in Stuttgart last month, and admitted during his pre-tournament media rounds on Sunday that he was "almost dreading" his return."I’m just going to try to do everything I can, prepare, go out there and play some good tennis," Kyrgios had said. "I feel probably as good as I could feel at the moment."
