Nick Kyrgios, the Australian tennis player, recently expressed his gratitude towards his long-time friend Andy Murray. As a friend, Murray had always supported Kyrgios when he was struggling with mental health issues and was self-harming during the tour.

During the 2019 Wimbledon, the Australian was already struggling with his issues, and that was portrayed in his matches as well. He openly thanked the former World No. 1 for standing by him through the tough times.

Murray and Kyrgios have always been great friends, but this is the first time he spoke about his friend in an interview.

Nick Kyrgios revealed that Andy Murray always looked out for him

In a recent news interview, Nick Kyrgios shared his deep connection with his friend Andy Murray. He shared the instance when Murray was there for him during his dark times. 

As soon as I came on the tour, he kind of saw a work in progress and took me under his wing. Then he realised later in my career that I don't think I was coachable or I was on my own path, but he was always someone that was looking out for me.
