"US Open a couple years ago…. This young fan was sitting courtside and watched my entire match," wrote Kyrgios. "After I finished I went up to him and noticed he was nervous and as I approached him he was a little insecure about his condition.

"I told him my brother had the exact same condition and he lives a beautiful life, as soon as I told him this his eyes lit up and I could tell from that moment on he had a different outlook and he didn’t feel alone. One of my favorite moments in my entire career, blessed someone captured this moment ❤️🙏🏽"
