Kyrgios further hints at retirement after Tsitsipas Laver Cup loss: "I don't know how much longer I'll be around"

Nick Kyrgios has been very much open in recent months since his return to tennis that he likely won't be around for much longer in the sport.

This topic came up again after his Laver Cup loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas and he hinted that not only will it potentially be his last time in the tournament but once more that he won't have long left in the sport.

He also revealed his plans after the tournament with the Australian Open next up for Kyrgios with the health of his mum a concern.

"As I said, you know, I'm not going to say it's my last Laver Cup, but I don't know how much longer I'll be around, you know, tennis, so it was just great. I took every moment in today," Kyrgios said after the Tsitsipas loss.

"As long as I'm on the court, I will try and give my best, but I'm not going to lie and say that I'm going to plan to play four or five more years on tour. That's just not me."

"This is my last event of the year. I will get my body right ahead of the Australian Open."

"My mum is not doing too well with her health. I'd like to go back and see her."
