During the last couple of years, Kyrgios outbursts have become more frequent which has concerned McEnroe who even offered to help the Australian.  That offer to help was turned down by Kyrgios in a rather rude manner but since then the two have been in contact as McEnroe captained Kyrgios when he played for Team World.  <\/p>\n<h2>Kyrgios Must Address Mental Health Issues<\/h2>\n<p>Kyrgios had a breakdown at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/tennis\/us-open\">U.S Open<\/a> recently and that prompted the chair umpire to reach out to him and tell him \u2018<em>I like you and want to help you<\/em>\u2019. That little piece of advice got the chair umpire in trouble and caused him to get suspended for the next two ATP events.<\/p>\n<p>McEnroe believes the chair umpire should have been promoted and not punished for wanting to help Kyrgios. He said that if Kyrgios does not fix his mental health quickly, it could very well result in the end of his professional tennis career.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABC News<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QG0ePhLz4O0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>In a statement, McEnroe said <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The difference between Nick and I at the moment is I tried all the time.
