Former Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has claimed that Nick Kyrgios will learn from his mistakes after an explosive outburst at Wimbledon.

The Australian was fined for swearing during his fourth-round match with Richard Gasquet yesterday, while he also slammed his racquet into the ground and narrowly missed spectators in another match earlier in the tournament.

Murray said at a press conference: "I don't think people appreciate how difficult it is to grow up under the spotlight, how difficult it is to have loads of people expecting you to be perfect from a young age. I like Nick. I've spoken to him away from the court. He's quite different to how he is on it.

"It's not easy. He'll find his way, for sure. He'll hopefully have good people around him that can help him, people that have experienced being on the tour, guys like Lleyton Hewitt and Pat Rafter."

Kyrgios lost to Gasquet in four sets.
