The tennis star has revealed that in the years leading up to 2020 he “wasn’t communicating” and turned to drugs and alcohol to deal with his demons.

“It was very serious, to the point of self-harm and it’s not OK,” he said. “I guess I pushed everyone that cared about me away and I wasn’t communicating, and I just shut down real life and I was trying to handle and tackle my problems head-on. The 27-year-old, who won this year’s Australian Open doubles title alongside compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis, has long confessed to a love-hate relationship with the sport and says he resented meeting people who “really didn’t care who I was as a human being, rather just a tennis player … the crazy tennis player”.
