Kyrgios has surgery after Australian Open withdrawal

Nick Kyrgios was aiming to win a first Grand Slam singles title after losing to Novak Djokovic in last year's Wimbledon final

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.
