Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios revealed that Andy Murray helped him during his depressionwhen he discovered the self-inflicted wounds he had sustained and offered him support.
Kyrgios, who will give an interview this Friday to Piers Morgan, said this year that after losing at Wimbledon 2019 He had suicidal ideations, spent time in a psychiatric hospital, and was competing with self-inflicted wounds on his arms.
“Murray saw the wounds and asked me what I had there. I was having a very bad time in that epic and Andy tried to advise me, but I was too in my world and didn’t listen to him. But I am very grateful to him,” Kyrgios said.
According to the Australian, Murray saw Kyrgios’ injuries during training and alerted the Canberra agent to try to help him.
“Andy has always supported me. When I arrived at the circuit he welcomed me. Then he realized that I am not someone who can be trained, that I was going my own way, but it has always been someone who has taken care of me.”
Kyrgios is currently on a sports break and has only played one match since October 2022 due to various physical problems, especially in the knee. Taking advantage of his free time, the Australian participated as a commentator on the Tennis Channel sports channel during the last ATP Finals.
