It never has, Nick Kyrgios, Australian Tennis Star, via Twitter.<br />COVID-19 cases have been on the rise in the <br />region due to the more transmissible Delta variant.<br />Whether Kyrgios would be able to compete in the <br />Tokyo Games had already been in question... .<br />... due to an abdominal injury he sustained during <br />his third-round match at Wimbledon. .<br />I wouldn't want to take the opportunity away from a healthy Aussie athlete ready to represent the country. I will also take all the time I need to get my body right, Nick Kyrgios, Australian Tennis Star, via Twitter
