Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios sadly missed out on the first Grand Slam of the year due to an injury. Kyrgios has been in terrific form since the last year and is undoubtedly the best Australian tennis player on the ATP tour currently. In the past couple of years, we have seen Kyrgios’ girlfriend Costeen Hatzi accompanying him on the tour. Recently, the Australian tennis star spoke about her impact on his tennis career.

Nick Kyrgios opens up about his girlfriend’s impact on his tennis

Nick Kyrgios has come out as a much-improved tennis player in the past few months. The Aussie has been in great form and is enjoying his tennis. One probable reason could be the company of his girlfriend on the tour. Speaking about the positive impact she brings to his tennis, the 27-year-old said in the JBK Show, “If you find that perfect partner that’s just enjoying the general life like friends. Coming to the hotel room every hour. It generally feels like she cares for my best interest. Everything is just easy, and she gets it. She has seen how much scrutiny I am under every day. She just makes sure that I am good. “

However, it seems like Costeen also brought in that sense of calm in the 27-year-old. He not only became better in the sport, but also formed some great relationships on the court, like the one with Novak Djokovic.
