NICK KYRGIOS has claimed he will not be "crawling to the finish line" of his tennis career like Andy Murray and Rafa Nadal.
But the 2022 Wimbledon finalist, who plans to return to action in December before playing the Australian Open, has revealed he still struggles with his mental health. "I fight it most days," said the Aussie.
Kyrgios, 29, has played only one ATP match in the last year because of knee, foot and wrist injuries and has hinted he could retire.
Murray, 37, said goodbye to tennis at the Paris Olympics while 38-year-old Nadal (below) will bid farewell at the Davis Cup finals in Malaga next month. Both Grand Slam legends have struggled with injuries in the closing years of their careers.
