Nick Kyrgios told 'don't come back to Wimbledon' following Wimbledon withdrawal

Nick Kyrgios has been told he shouldn't be allowed back to Wimbledon after pulling out of the tournament on the eve of the opening day.

On Sunday night Wimbledon was hit with the news that Kyrgios wouldn't be returning to SW19 the following day, a year after reaching the final.

Like him or not there is no doubting that the Australian provides as much entertainment in any competition he enters as any other player on the tour.

During his final last year with Novak Djokovic he even managed moments of his usual tomfoolery, accusing one member of the crowd of having '700 drinks.'

Explaining his decision to back out, the 28-year-old said: "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."

His decision to withdraw before the tournament did allow “lucky loser” Fabian Marozsan to play in the first round but that's not enough for commentator Chris Goldsmith.

The man known as the "Tennis Talker" took to social media to say: "Those that say Nick Kyrgios is good for tennis are wrong.

"No integrity whatsoever. Pulls out of singles and doubles a few hours before the tournament. Another ALT into Qualifying missed a place, all because he likes to mess about.

"Don’t come back to SW19."

Kyrgios was meant to be playing David Goffin on Court One on Monday but the Beligan was knocked down to Court Two to face Marozsan.

He came through against the qualifier in four sets, 6-2 5-7 6-2 6-0, and will next take on Chilean Tomas Barrios, who also needed four sets to go through.

With the gates of the All England club opening on Monday, Novak Djokovic kicked things off on centre court and made his way through pretty easily.

Fans flooded in as usual and were met with the prices of food and drink but the good news is that strawberries and cream have stayed at £2.50, a price that has remained for a decade.
