Nick Kyrgios health: Tennis star left 'struggling to breathe' due to 'crazy' condition

“I’m super proud of all the Aussies killing it out there, having fun. Kokk [Thanasi Kokkinakis] what a win last night.

“But just wanted to keep you all updated because I’ve been getting a lot of messages and obviously a lot of hate as well for not playing but I’ll keep you updated and hopefully I’m starting to feel better. Take it easy guys.”

Kyrgios, who has produced some of his best tennis in Melbourne, reached the third round of last year’s Open before blowing a two-set lead against former US Open champion Dominic Thiem.
