"Andy Murray is someone, for me, he's probably one of the best tennis players to ever play," said Kyrgios.
"He's probably top five for me of all time. You look now, he's got a medal here [Wimbledon]. He can barely walk without pain. He's the proof in the pudding.
"He's someone that did everything right, ticked every box, barely drunk, did all the food tests, did all the right things, and now at the end of his career, he struggles to walk.
"Without Novak [Djokovic], [Roger] Federer, and [Rafael] Nadal, Andy Murray would be the greatest tennis player to ever play."
Kyrgios is not competing at this year's Wimbledon due to a knee injury.
