In a revealing new Netflix documentary, "Break Point," Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios candidly discusses his mental health challenges following a difficult loss to Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon in 2019. The upcoming episodes detail the emotional aftermath of the defeat, which led Kyrgios to seek professional help.

Kyrgios shares the depth of his despair, admitting to suicidal thoughts and the pivotal role his father played in his decision to seek treatment. He describes waking up to his father's tears, a moment that served as a critical turning point. This prompted him to enter a psychiatric facility in London to address his mental well-being.

The tennis star's journey toward recovery is also highlighted. He reflects on his past struggles with substance abuse and strained relationships with loved ones. Kyrgios acknowledges the immense pressure he felt under the public eye, stating, "That pressure, having that all-eyes-on-you expectation, I couldn't deal with it. I hated the kind of person I was." He credits the 2022 Wimbledon tournament, where he reached the finals, as a catalyst for positive change.

Kyrgios also reveals he wore an arm sleeve during the 2019 tournament to conceal self-harm scars, offering a glimpse into the extent of his emotional distress. He explains, "You could tell I was hurting. My whole arm was covered in scars. That's why I actually got my arm sleeve. To cover it all."

While Kyrgios has withdrawn from this year's French Open due to a foot injury sustained during a car theft incident involving his mother, his candid discussion of his mental health struggles serves as a powerful testament to his personal growth and resilience.
