“Nick Kyrgios suffers injury to foot and leg during armed robbery at home”

“There was an armed robbery at their home on May 1. In all the chaos, Nick suffered a laceration to the sole of his left foot. We don’t know exactly how it happened,” Horsfall told Reuters.

While attempting to steal Kyrgios’ Tesla car, the robber pointed a gun at Kyrgios’ mother outside the house. Last year’s Wimbledon finalist rushed to her aid from inside when he heard a scream and apparently tore his leg in the process. “Essentially, it only cost him two weeks to prepare for his return, which was planned for the Grand Slam,” Horsfall said, adding that the Australian will miss the Roland Garros clay court due to a lack of training.

Kyrgios’ hamstring significantly complicated the final preparation. “He couldn’t slide and basically couldn’t go on the court at all because when he put his shoes on, the wound would always reopen,” the agent said. “His knee is now completely fine, the operation went well. He was also doing great physically. The crazy incident just happened at the time when the rehabilitation was ending and it was supposed to go on the court,” he added. Kyrgios should be ready for the grass tournaments.

Police in Canberra managed to catch the robber shortly after the crime. Kyrgios helped investigators locate his car using an app on his phone.
