Nick Kyrgios, the Australian tennis player, has tested positive for a cocaine metabolite during the Mallorca Open in June, which could significantly impact his career. At 31, Kyrgios has struggled with injuries and has only participated in eight tournaments this year, winning just two matches. He acknowledged the test as a 'huge mistake' and is now facing a potential four-year ban pending an investigation.
Kyrgios, known for his talent and controversial behavior, has previously faced disciplinary actions for his conduct on and off the court. His current ranking is 919, and he plans to step away from public life for 28 days to focus on personal issues while navigating the legal process ahead, which may determine the future of his tennis career.
