Former world No13 Nick Kyrgios has revealed he still struggles with his mental health but does not want to 'crawl to the finish line' of his tennis career like injury-plagued Andy Murray had to
Nick Kyrgios has insisted he won't be "crawling to the finish line" of his career like tennis legends Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal .
Murray, 37, marked his farewell from tennis after the Paris 2024 Olympics, while 38-year-old Nadal will follow suit at the upcoming Davis Cup finals. And both legends of the game share in common the fact they've had to deal with persistent injuries in their careers. During a recent appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast , Kyrgios confided that Murray had noticed him self-harming during what he described as a "bad period" at Wimbledon in 2019.
"Well, they wanted me to stay for a bit, but I was like: 'I have other duties that I need to fulfil,'" he recalled. "I nearly got him though. I nearly beat him.
