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.”
