A DEVASTATED Nick Kyrgios said he doesn't know what else he can do to get his tennis career back on track after pain in his surgically reconstructed right wrist forced him out of Indian Wells.

Kyrgios had a set point in the first set but lost the tiebreaker and trailed 3-0 in the second when he called a halt, sending Dutch lucky loser Botic van de Zandschulp into a second round meeting with Novak Djokovic.
