French Open: Nick Kyrgios to miss tournament due to knee injury

Paris: Australia’s unpredictable tennis star Nick Kyrgios will miss the French Open due to a knee injury, the Grand Slam event organisers the French Tennis Federation (FFT) said on Tuesday. The 28-year-old has never flourished on the Roland-Garros clay reaching the third round on just two of the five times he has played there.
