The end of the season after the withdrawal of the Kremlin Cup

(Reuters) – Australian Nick Kiriyos has decided to end his season after being pulled out of the Kremlin Cup on Thursday due to a new injury suffered by the center.

The fifth seed of the Moscow tournament was about to face the Bosnian Mirza Basic.

"I'm sorry I can not play today Unfortunately, I am facing a new injury in the facility.

"It started to bother me a little this week, I will choose to finish the season and go home and I will start recovering and seeing you in 2019."

The new injury put an end to a disappointing season for Kieros, 23, after falling to 37th place in the professional rankings.

He started the season with his first win at home in Brisbane and performed well at the Australian Open before losing in the round of 16 against Gregor Dimitrov.

The injury forced him to leave France when he was involved in a strange incident at the US Open where he sent him a "motivational speech" during his meeting with the Frenchman Pierre-Aug-Erper in the second tower.

Keryos, accused of not having played his best in the game, was involved in another incident at the Shanghai Masters this month in his sudden defeat against Bradley Klan, which Damian Domosois has described as 39; "cross-border".
