Nick Kyrgios continues to open up about his mental health and it appears to be working well for his tennis game

The Australian tennis star asked if he has any advice for those who might be struggling personally. He says “the people around me, I pushed them away and those are the people I needed the most.”

The 26-year-old went on to say “I’ve got a really good tight-knit group of people around me and I’m not afraid to open up anymore, I think that’s the biggest thing.”

“I think males around my age really struggle with coming out.”

“[They think] it’s a sign of weakness or something if you’re struggling mentally, but I don’t think that’s the case at all,” Kyrgios says.

He also praised Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka, who has been open about her struggles with mental health.

“Naomi kind of pulled the pin at that French Open when she was dealing with all that negative kind of emotion, and when she pulled the pin, I related to that,” Kyrgios says.

The world 102 joined his close friend and fellow Australian, Thanassi Kokkinakis in round four of the Miami Open. The pair won the Australian Open double’s title in January.

Kyrgios knocked out Fabio Fognini 6-2, 6-4 and will face Italian youngster Jannik Sinner in the next round.

Earlier this month, Kyrgios bowed out of the Indian Wells tournament, which featured an exchange with Ben Stiller.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
