Nick Kyrgios fans will be heartbroken after knowing his recent confession about winning a Grand Slam tournament. The 27-year-old tennis player is having retirement thoughts after experiencing the toll of competing on the Tour throughout the year, away from friends and family. But what led to this decision from the Aussie tennis sensation?

The 27-year-old tennis star has been looking to win his first Grand Slam victory for the past few years. Although the Aussie star made it to the Wimbledon Championships final earlier this year, he lost against Novak Djokovic, squandering his best chance to win a first-ever major championship in singles.

Nick Kyrgios’ open confession regarding the struggles of being on the Tour

The Wimbledon finalist, in an exclusive interview with Eurosport, talked about a huge issue that the Australian tennis players face during the ATP Tour. Not only that, but he also talked about the unhealthy habits he has cultivated to compete in the biggest tournaments, which other athletes rarely have to do.

He said, “It’s easy for a European or an American player to lose or win a tournament, then you take a five-hour flight back home and you spend a week there before the next event. Whereas as an Australian, you’re doing like four to seven months travel blocks. Honestly, I don’t think it’s healthy. No other real athlete does that in the world, in any sport. Doing seven months on your own.”
