After the victory—which brought his 2022 head-to-head to 2-1 against Medvedev—the Aussie opened up about his newfound mentality, and even teased a possible mic-drop retirement:
Q: Is part of the ‘process’ liking yourself, appreciating yourself, relishing yourself, what you can internally do? Can you talk about what's going on inside you?
NICK KYRGIOS: I felt like when I was really struggling mentally, I was very selfish. I felt like, ‘I feel bad, I don't want to play.’ Then I looked at the people closest to me and how much I was letting them down, and I didn't want to do that any more.
I just tried to just look at my career. I was like, I feel like I've got so much left to give to the sport. That's it. I just trained hard. I just put my head down, Look, let's get in shape, better shape, first of all. Let's see, like, how it goes…
I feel like I'm making people proud now. I feel like there's not as much negative things being said about me. I just wanted to turn the narrative around, almost. That's basically it.
I just was feeling so depressed all the time, so feeling sorry for myself. I just wanted to change that.
