Nick Kyrgios wrote on Wednesday that he is considering retiring, and his injuries have played a role in that.

However, he says even if he is healthy, he will not even bother participating in the Olympics this summer in Paris.

Kyrgios is still holding a grudge against the Australian Olympic Committee, saying the way he was treated by them "will never be forgotten."

The 2022 Wimbledon finalist said he was "banned" from playing in the 2016 games by the committee and former chef de mission Kitty Chiller because of his behavior, a move he called a "disgrace."

"I was No.13 at the time and had a genuine chance at winning a medal. For them to forbid me from representing my country for behavioral reasons is something that I just can’t forget," he wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald.

"Eight years ago, I was desperate to represent Australia at an Olympic Games, but my mentality has changed. I wanted to play for my country, I can’t say that I still have that desire. And let’s be honest, I haven’t exactly felt like Australia has wanted me to represent it either. I’ve said before, I often feel more at home away from home."
