Kyrgios says it is likely his final Wimbledon after first-round doubles loss

Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios says he has almost certainly played his last Wimbledon after a first-round exit in the men’s doubles. Kyrgios, partnering with Alexander Bublik, loses to sixth-seeded Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, on Wednesday on Court 17. Following the match, Kyrgios describes the appearance as an emotional send-off, indicating he expects it to be his final Wimbledon. He says he is “pretty confidently” done at the tournament and recalls looking around and taking in the surroundings as the match progressed. Multiple outlets report the same defeat and the same comments from Kyrgios about his Wimbledon future, framing the loss as the end of his Wimbledon campaign. The reports do not indicate any change to his broader schedule beyond the immediate result, but they agree that this match functions as a farewell to the tournament for Kyrgios.
