Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has praised British tennis player Andy Murray for turning his life around amid mental health struggles.

“Andy was always a big supporter of me,” Kyrgios told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.

“He saw it [scars] and said what’s that on your arm, it was pretty bad at that stage.

“Andy was trying to give me advice on it but I was just so stuck in my ways at that time, I didn’t listen.
“I thank him a lot.”

The Australian tennis player has made a point of speaking openly about his mental health struggles, after revealing he was considering suicide in 2019.
