Nick Kyrgios has expressed disappointment over the current state of his relationship with Andy Murray, suggesting the two are no longer close. The Australian said Murray declined an invitation to appear on his podcast Good Trouble, which led Kyrgios to question whether they are still friends. “I wouldn’t even know if he’s a friend anymore. I guess he’s just like a colleague,” Kyrgios said. “We used to be closer, but then, I don’t know.”
Murray’s Past Support
The two players once shared a strong bond, often spending time together off the court and supporting each other during difficult moments. Kyrgios acknowledged that Murray had been there for him during personal struggles. “He was one of the people who was very supportive of me through that, but now we kind of don’t talk as much,” he said.
Podcast Snub and Changing Dynamics
Kyrgios interpreted Murray’s decision not to appear on Good Trouble as a sign of distance. He suggested that Murray may have felt “too important” to join the show, which has featured several high-profile guests. The rejection appears to have triggered reflection on how their relationship has evolved, especially as Kyrgios continues to navigate his career amid injuries and time away from the tour.
A Friendship in Question
While neither player has confirmed a definitive end to their friendship, Kyrgios’ comments indicate a shift from personal closeness to professional detachment. Whether the two reconnect remains uncertain, but the public remarks have highlighted how relationships in tennis can change over time.
