Kyrgios withdraws from Olympic consideration for Australia (Yahoo Sports)

Nick Kyrgios withdrew his name from consideration for Australia’s tennis team for the Olympics on Friday, citing ”unfair and unjust treatment” by national Olympic officials. Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic, who also withdrew from the Olympic tournament in Rio de Janeiro in August, were placed on notice by Australian team chef de mission Kitty Chiller last month after a number of behavioral issues on and off the court. It means the country’s two highest-ranked male tennis players won’t be competing for Australia, a nation rich in Olympic history and which loves its sport.
