Nick Kyrgios, the always-news-worthy Aussie, just announced on Twitter that he’s defaulting his much anticipated 4th round match versus Roger Federer, due to what Kyrgios currently believes is food poisoning:

I’m so sorry but I can’t play @BNPARIBASOPEN today. Unfortunately I am unable to play today due to sickness. At this stage we think it’s food poisoning….After a restless night of being sick I have nothing left and to play a great champion like Roger, I need to be at my best….

The walkover puts Federer into the quarters, where he’ll face the winner of Jack Sock/Kei Nishikori. After starting out in what everyone referred to as the Draw Of Death, a quarter of the draw featuring Federer, Kyrgios, Nadal, and Djokovic, Federer’s luck of the draw means he avoids the last of the biggest names in his quarter.
