Nick Kyrgios opens up about ‘drinking every single night’ in the beginning of his tennis career during Netflix’s tennis documentary, “Break Point.”
Tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios said his life was “spiraling out of control” in the beginning of his career.
“The first four or five years of my career it was so chaotic,” Kyrgios said. “When it was Horse [Horsfall] on tour with me looking after me, when it was basically just him looking after me, he could just see my mental wellbeing just declining every week. My life was like spiraling out of control — drinking every single night.”
“I was like, ‘OK I can’t keep doing this,'” Kyrgios said. “I have to be kinder to myself. For my mental health, I could never be one of those players that plays all year round. I couldn’t do that. I value my family, my close, close friends and Cosi [Hatzi] too much to put tennis in front of that anymore. I don’t think it’s healthy.
Kyrgios’ mother can be seen holding a broken tennis racket, before clips from his various on-court outbursts played. Kyrgios, currently ranked No. 22 in the world, said in the Netflix documentary that his life changed after he defeated the game’s top-ranked player, Rafael Nadal, at Wimbledon in 2014.
