Nick Kyrgios is in the best form of his life. Earlier this year, he won the Australian Open men’s doubles title with compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis. Further, in the recently concluded Wimbledon Championships, he reached his maiden Grand Slam singles final. He went down fighting against Novak Djokovic in a thrilling four-set match.

Nonetheless, it was a memorable tournament for the Australian, putting on some amazing displays. He had skipped the French Open to focus on the grass-court season. That move seems to have paid off with his runner-up finish at Wimbledon. Recently, his mother recounted how Andy Murray helped him to overcome the toughest phase of his life.

Andy Murray was there at the right time for Nick Kyrgios

Kyrgios had previously opened up about his mental health struggles and walking away from the sport a few years back. During Kyrgios’ tough phase, Andy Murray raised concerns about his health to his former agent, John Morris.

Talking about this, Kyrgios’ mother, Nill, said, “John spoke to me that Andy is worried about Nick because he can see some evidence of self-harm. And I blame others for that. For just pressuring him, criticizing him. Even people we thought might be supporting him.”
