Nick Kyrgios reveals he had suicidal thoughts as he struggled with Wimbledon pressure

Nick Kyrgios has revealed he was "contemplating if I wanted to commit suicide" after competing at Wimbledon four years ago.

Kyrgios, 28, was admitted to a psychiatric ward in London after suffering a second-round defeat to Rafael Nadal at SW19, calling the loss "the lowest point of my career". He revealed the incident in the new series of Netflix's tennis docuseries 'Break Point'.

The Australian superstar has since bounced back and reached the final of Wimbledon last year, losing in four sets to Novak Djokovic. Kyrgios has also confessed he was desperate to win the 2022 tournament to send a clear message to tennis' establishment.
