[the AntiPusher]

Nick Kyrgios has withdrawn due to injury. ( apparently Nick has a niggling ankle injury) Alex de Minaur will move into the No 1 men's position for Team Australia, and subsequently Jason Kluber moves into the No 2 spot.
Updated schedule to follow

This dude has more non tennis injuries than anyone who ever PLAYED tennis..maybe he needs to give up basketball as his cross training sport

Further reading Nick picked up the ankle injury playing that exho in the Middle East recently, he did not win a singles or doubles match.
Nick goes into the first major of the year without a warm up tournament.

Still not much love between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios ( even after they played doubles together at the exho in the Middle East)
Stefanos Tsitsipas was asked about Nick Kyrgios' withdrawal from the United Cup
" I don't think it is a surprise"
"I don't see it as a surprise.I hope he enjoys his holidays' ".

Who is Nick's physio Richard Simmons , Good Grief.. He definitely needs to take his training more seriously before he suffers a chronic big man's injury..

The only video I saw yesterday when he practiced on Ken Rosewall,, on twitter, Rafa was practicing his fhand, bhand and volleys I did not see him serve, it was only a few minutes BTW
Rafa is using a new Babolat Pure Aero racket.
