In February, Kyrgios took to Instagram and wrote about how he was in a better place.
“I’m proud to say I’ve completely turned myself around and have a completely different outlook on everything. I don’t take one moment for granted,” he wrote. “I want you to be able to reach your full potential and smile. This life is beautiful.”

The “Break Point” episodes document Kyrgios’ run to the 2022 Wimbledon final. His success at last year’s tournament brought back memories of his struggles following the 2019 edition of the Grand Slam.
