Nick Kyrgios and girlfriend Costeen Hatzi had quite the adventure in New York City this weekend ahead of the 2022 US Open.
Leading up to his first-round match against Thanasi Kokkinakis on Monday, Kyrgios played tourist with Hatzi, as the couple posed for a photo atop the Empire State Building in Midtown.
“The big 🍎 [apple],” Hatzi posted Saturday on Instagram.
Kyrgios, who is coming off a title run at the Citi Open in Washington D.C. earlier this month, also ventured to Times Square with Hatzi, where they appeared to take in a Broadway show. A daytime outing at the Central Park Zoo was on the agenda as well, according to Hatzi’s Instagram Stories.
Kyrgios, the No. 23 seed in this year’s tournament, is looking to make a run after reaching the final at Wimbledon in July, when he was bested by Novak Djokovic. The 27-year-old Australian athlete recently reflected on how that match impacted his perspective on the court.
“I just feel like a bit of a perfectionist at times,” Kyrgios told The Post. “I feel like that Wimbledon final has made me just obsessed with trying to play a perfect point every time when it’s not realistic at all in tennis. … I think I’m going to be a bit nicer to myself and stop expecting myself to play the perfect point every time.”
When Kyrgios gears up to serve on Monday in Flushing Meadows, it’s likely Hatzi will be in the stands at Arthur Ashe Stadium to cheer him on. A social media influencer, Hatzi has supported Kyrgios at different tournaments around the globe over the past several months, including Wimbledon.
“An amazing two weeks here in London for Wimbledon & it was nothing short of a success. @k1ngkyrg1os The best result in your career & you made us all so proud. I love you & keep believing in yourself,” Hatzi wrote on Instagram in July.
Kyrgios’ run at Wimbledon wasn’t without controversy, however, as he’s been accused of assaulting his former girlfriend in an alleged incident from Dec. 2021. The case is due in court in October.
