Tennis star Nick Kyrgios has said he may retire from the sport if he were to win a major singles title after struggling with the amount of time he's forced to spend away from family and friends.
It's not the first time Kyrgios has opened up about his struggles being away from home from months on end. The 27-year-old found it particularly hard to be separated from family this past summer when his mother, Norlaila —who has terminal cancer—was hospitalised.
Kyrgios enjoyed a breakout year in 2022 despite those hardships, winning the Australian Open doubles crown before making his Grand Slam singles final debut at Wimbledon. But the life of an elite player has taken its toll on the controversial talent, so much so that he'd consider hanging up his racquet if he were to win one of the big four.
