Nick Kyrgios is provisionally suspended from tennis following a positive cocaine test. The International Tennis Integrity Agency announced the suspension effective from August 4, after Kyrgios submitted a sample during the Mallorca Open on June 22, which tested positive for benzoylecgonine, a cocaine metabolite. In an Instagram post, Kyrgios admitted to making a "huge mistake" and took full responsibility. Under this suspension, he is barred from playing or attending any Grand Slam events or tournaments sanctioned by the ATP and WTA. Kyrgios has participated in only four singles matches this season due to ongoing injuries.
