Kyrgios pulled out of the 2023 Australian Open just prior to the start of the Grand Slam event due to a knee injury. He soon underwent surgery.
The 28-year-old also missed the other three 2023 Grand Slam events (French Open, Wimbledon, U.S. Open) due to injuries.
"Obviously had a really tough year with injury, had that knee surgery and came back a little bit too soon and set me back a little bit, then obviously had some wrist issues," Kyrgios said on his website. "So this is a very disappointing time for me, but I won't be able to compete at the 2024 Australian Open."
The former World No. 13 played some of his best tennis in 2022 when he lost to Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final and reached the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open.
