"I knew that I almost reached my mental capacity of going out there and playing at a high level. I knew that by that time I needed to call it and come home and refresh for the Aussie summer. I actually would do it again, because it was a massive stepping stone to me managing my schedule better." As all of Australia turned their attention to Kyrgios at the start of last summer, the tennis player was heading for the exit doors.
"I said to him 'maybe this is a good time'," Kyrgios recalls. "Obviously it's unfortunate circumstances but maybe it's a good time to get home and get back to the basics. It's done wonders for him, too. I know multiple amount of tennis players who were struggling because you just get caught with all the expectation and pressure. You're not living a normal life. It's a massive reset.
So as he prepares to make his comeback to tennis at January's Australian Open after 300 days in the wilderness, one only wonders if it will double as the beginning of the Nick Kyrgios farewell tour.
