The Australian, who was finalist at this year’s Wimbledon tournament, feels hard done by after missing out on any qualification points for the event.This year’s competition at the All England Club didn’t carry ranking points for the first time in 53 years after deciding to ban Russian and Belarusian players from the tournament due to the war in Ukraine. Kyrgios has obtained 1,870 ranking points this season leaving him ranked 22nd in the official world rankings.However, his ranking would have been substantially improved by the 1,200 ranking points given to the beaten finalist at Wimbledon. To make matters worse Novak Djokovic, who beat him 4–6, 6–3, 6–4, 7–6 in the final, was still given a qualification place for the ATP singles finals as a major winner.Kyrgios has however qualified alongside partner Thanasi Kokkinakis for the doubles tournament at the ATP Finals in Turin next month. Despite qualifying the Australian showed his frustration at missing the singles tournament. Posting on Instagram he said: “Should of been in singles as well… (but) no points at Wimbledon. First time in 53 years but we won’t speak of that.’READ MORE: Nick Kyrgios makes Novak Djokovic Australian Open plea as Serb waits on ban verdict Nick Kyrgios has qualified for the ATP World Tour Finals in doubles with Thanasi Kokkinakis (Image: Photo by Kevin C.
