the year, while hailing Joao Fonseca as a future Grand Slam champion.<\/p>\n<p>The 31-year-old has been beset by injury in recent years, which has led to\u00a0knee operations and wrist reconstruction surgery. To date, Kyrgios has played four singles matches in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian was handed a Wimbledon doubles wildcard alongside Alexander Bublik, but the pair crashed out in the first round in a bad-tempered affair.<\/p>\n<p>Following the 6-3, 6-4 defeat to Mate Pavic and Marcela Arevalo, Kyrgios said, \u201cI\u2019d probably say pretty confidently that was my last <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/wimbledon\">Wimbledon<\/a>. Definitely towards the end, I was just looking around and taking everything in. It was tough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just feel body-wise and everything, probably I\u2019d be hard to see myself coming back here again and competing. Obviously, that [Wimbledon] final (in 2022) was always going to be one of the better memories of my tennis career. But I just can\u2019t see myself getting back to anywhere near that level.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>More Tennis News<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/joao-fonseca-mega-prize-nick-kyrgios-uts-mouratoglou\">Joao Fonseca and Nick Kyrgios chasing mega prize money as they land in Brazil<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/patrick-mouratoglou-interview-uts-tennis\">Patrick Mouratoglou makes \u2018insane\u2019 claim as tennis landscape shifts<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?

I\u2019ve been playing the last couple of weeks \u2013 Mallorca, Halle, Stuttgart \u2013 and Wimbledon was great too. Just happy to be back at these events, and every week I\u2019m able to play now is a bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his plans between now and the 2027 Australian Open, Kyrgios replied, \u201cHonestly, not too sure. I take it a week at a time. After this, I\u2019m going to Washington, that\u2019s all I know right now. Not too sure about much more than that, but we\u2019ll see how we go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the Rio event, Kyrgios will lock horns with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/joao-fonseca\">Fonseca<\/a> for the first time. While he hasn\u2019t been on the receiving end of the Brazilian\u2019s bruising groundstrokes in a competitive match, the veteran has seen enough from the 19-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>The former world No 13 said the teenager has the \u201cX-Factor\u201d and has backed him to win a handful of majors. Whether that comes at the expense of 23-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> and 24-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Jannik Sinner<\/a>, who have 12 Grand Slams between them, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cFonseca has the potential to win multiple Grand Slams. I look at his level, what he\u2019s been able to produce, how quick his transition has been \u2013 he\u2019s definitely got that X-factor, the work ethic, the level. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if we\u2019re seeing him be a multiple Grand Slam champion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT NEXT? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/players-give-up-facing-jannik-sinner-carlos-alcaraz-me-too-admits-atp-star\">ATP star admits he and other players \u2018give up when facing Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nick Kyrgios drops hint on his future after \u2018last Wimbledon\u2019 statement and makes telling Joao Fonseca prediction Richie Mills 17 Jul 2026 8:14 AM Joao Fonseca (inset), alongside Nick Kyrgios at Wimbledon Nick Kyrgios has remained tight-lipped about his schedule for the rest of the year, while hailing Joao Fonseca as a future Grand Slam [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-2047581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2047581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2047581"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2047581\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2047581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2047581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2047581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
