Nick Kyrgios urged Novak Djokovic to stay in tennis “as long as possible” after the Serbian great Tuesday pulled out of his only lead-up tournament to the Australian Open, saying he was “not quite physically ready”.

The 38-year-old was planning to use the Adelaide International from January 12 as a springboard to the opening Grand Slam at Melbourne Park a week later where he is targeting an 11th title and elusive 25th major crown.
“To all my fans in Adelaide, unfortunately I'm not quite physically ready to compete in the Adelaide International next week,” Djokovic said on Instagram.
“It’s personally very disappointing to me, as I have such great memories of winning the title there two years ago. I was really excited about returning as it truly felt like playing at home.
