His stunning performances laced with controversial on-court antics made him the first name on everyone's lips.
The Aussie showman powered himself into the final, where he lost in a thriller to Novak Djokovic.

Why is Nick Kyrgios not playing Wimbledon?
Nick Kyrgios will NOTbe playing at Wimbledon, after revealing he had suffered a wrist injury on the eve of the tournament.
In a statement, Kyrgios said: “I’m really sad to say that I have to withdraw from Wimbledon this year.
“During my comeback, I experienced some pain in my wrist during Mallorca.
“As a precaution I had it scanned and it came back showing a torn ligament in my wrist.
“I tried everything to be able to play and I am disappointed to say that I just didn’t have enough time to manage it before Wimbledon.
