Kyrgios, 27, had to miss the Australian Open in Melbourne at the last minute and said he was “devastated”, but his manager Daniel Horsfall is already looking ahead. To the local newspaper The Age he said on the sidelines of the Australian Open that the operation was “a great success”. “We couldn’t be happier with the result. Now we are doing everything we can for a quick recovery and we are aiming for a return to Indian Wells.”
Kyrgios played the final at Wimbledon last season and was an outsider for the title in his own country. He suffered a tear in the meniscus of his left knee.
