\n Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios<\/a> is set to miss the French Open<\/a> after injuring his foot during an incident where his car was stolen, his agent confirmed to CNN Sport<\/a> on Thursday.\n <\/p>\n

\n According to Daniel Horsfall, Kyrgios \u2013 the runner-up at Wimbledon<\/a> last year \u2013 hurt himself in the \u201chigh-adrenaline rush\u201d of the robbery in Canberra earlier this month.\n <\/p>\n

\n Police said that Kyrgios\u2019 mother was held at gunpoint and that his Tesla was stolen during the incident near his house in the Australian capital, Reuters reported.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cDuring the incident on May 1, they had the armed robbery at the house. With all the stuff that was going on, Nick lacerated the side of his left foot. We don\u2019t know how,\u201d Horsfall said.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cBasically, it\u2019s just set him back about two-and-a-half weeks in terms of his loading schedule to get back on court for what we thought was going to be the grand slam.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n When contacted by CNN, Canberra police referred to a statement<\/a> from May 1 which said that a 32-year-old man had been arrested for allegedly stealing a car from a residence in the suburb of Watson.\n <\/p>\n

\n The statement added that the man had threatened a woman at the residence with a firearm and demanded the keys to a Tesla parked at the residence.\n <\/p>\n

\n The man was charged with aggravated robbery, driving a stolen motor vehicle, furious driving, and failure to stop for police, police said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Kyrgios\u2019 last tournament was in Tokyo in October. He underwent knee surgery at the start of the year and had hoped to make a return at the French Open.\n <\/p>\n

\n However, Horsfall said that the 28-year-old had suffered a laceration to his foot during the robbery, rendering practice difficult.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe couldn\u2019t slide, couldn\u2019t get on court because every time he put a shoe on it moved and it would re-open,\u201d said Horsfall.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHis knee, as far as we\u2019re concerned, is actually in fantastic shape, the surgery went well.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHis fitness is at a fantastic level. It was just when we got to the last point of that rehab, the on-court loading, this freak accident happened.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n According to Horsfall, Kyrgios is planning to return to the tour in Stuttgart, Germany, at the beginning of June.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe family has had it rough during the last month,\u201d he told CNN. \u201cNot just Nick and his mother Nill, but also his sister Hali and partner Costeen who was there the morning of the robbery.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The French Open begins on May 22 and runs until June 11. Tournament organizers confirmed that Kyrgios had withdrawn but declined to give any further information.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
