Nick Kyrgios has pulled out of the Indian Wells quarter-final match against Roger Federer due to food poisoning.
“At this stage we think it’s food poisoning, and I’m praying it’s nothing more,” the Australian said in a statement.
The 21-year-old took everyone by surprise when he beat world number two Novak Djokovic in the previous round on Wednesday and was expected to face Federer in the quarter-finals.
Federer will now face Japan’s Kei Nishikori or Jack Sock of the United States in the semi-finals.
