Nick Kyrgios<\/a> has given fans a glimmer of hope after withdrawing from consecutive tournaments, saying: "I'll be back soon."<\/p>\n

Kyrgios pulled out of the ATP Tour's Qatar and Dubai events but indicated he has tennis on his mind with the below Instagram post. <\/p>\n

Kyrgios' future was immediately back in doubt after an Australian Open campaign that ended with a third-round loss to Dominic Thiem; a five-set thriller.<\/p>\n

The mercurial Australian, 25, was inactive for nearly a year before the Open due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He was unwilling to travel during the global health crisis and the coronavirus situation across Europe and the US is still grave, meaning that his willingness to play abroad remains unclear.<\/p>\n

There were concerns after the Open that Kyrgios, currently ranked world No.50, would be badly affected by another year away from the tour.<\/p>\n

"Now the question is, what happens for the rest of the year?" Australian tennis great Todd Woodbridge told Wide World of Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

"For me, I get the feeling he probably won't travel. I don't think he's going to feel at all comfortable going away with the current scenario, it's no better; in fact, it's worse than what it was when he chose not to go in the first place.<\/p>\n

"And that's going to be really tough. That would almost mean two years out of the game.<\/p>\n

"And to play as well as he did here, with absolutely, really, no preparation, I thought was an extraordinary performance. But what does that do to his career? That's going to be a big question if he doesn't go again."<\/p>\n

Following Dubai, the ATP Tour has the Acapulco 500 event, which Kyrgios won in 2019, followed by the Miami Masters 1000.<\/p>\n
