Former girlfriend splits with Kyrgios to escape his shadow

After breaking up with Nick Kyrgios, Costeen Hatzi said her desire to focus on her career was the reason for the split.

"I want to grow and expand my business. I have more time to focus on my career in fashion, beauty, and content creation," Hatzi told News Corp on 17/8/2024. "My big goal is to build an accessible brand that inspires and guides women in different styles."

Hatzi, an interior design graduate, is a key opinion leader (KOL) in Australia with over 174,000 followers on Instagram. She and Kyrgios began dating in late 2021. Since then, Hatzi has frequently appeared in the stands at Kyrgios' tournaments. She also gained more fame as the girlfriend of the beloved Australian tennis player.

Not only did Hatzi accompany Kyrgios around the world as a supportive girlfriend, but she also assisted the 1995-born player with various behind-the-scenes tasks.

"I dedicated all my time to him. I went to tournaments, helped him with laundry, cooking... everything," Hatzi added. "I was very happy because I loved him. Our relationship was great at the time. I have no regrets."

However, at the beginning of 2023, the couple's future was questioned when Kyrgios took a break from competing. By mid-2024, Hatzi confirmed the split from the Australian "bad boy." She stated her desire to develop her career and step out of Kyrgios' shadow.

"I have all the time for myself. Of course, there's a bit of reflection, but also a lot of motivation. I was mentally prepared. The breakup wasn't a big shock to me," Hatzi shared. "This year has been like a transition period in my life. I'm not happy every day, but I've learned to have a more positive outlook on life."

Kyrgios has suffered numerous injuries in the past two years and hasn't competed much. This season, the 30-year-old player appeared in four tournaments, played five matches, and won one against Mackenzie McDonald in the first round of the Miami Open in March.

Kyrgios was once a young talent expected to win a Grand Slam, thanks to his technique and serving ability. His best result was reaching the Wimbledon final in 2022, where he lost to Novak Djokovic. He earned the nickname "bad boy" for his rebellious and somewhat unusual personality on and off the court, often causing controversy and making unpredictable statements.
