Former World No. 13 Nick Kyrgios talked about his plans to marry his girlfriend Costeen Hatzi during an episode of ‘Hotboxin’ podcast with Mike Tyson. In the interview, Kyrgios shared insights into his life. When he mentioned he’d been with his girlfriend for two years, Tyson showed his support.

Sebastian Joseph-Day asked Kyrgios about his future plans, and Tyson followed up by inquiring if he was married or had children. Kyrgios responded, “I’ve been in a relationship for two years,” which impressed Mike Tyson. When Tyson learned Kyrgios was 28 years old, he playfully said Kyrgios was still young and encouraged him to enjoy life.

However, as a response to the question, ‘What next’, Kyrgios said that his immediate goal was to get healthy. “I haven’t set goals or anything. I just want to get healthy. That’s my first and foremost thing,” he said. He also revealed that he would prefer to get his body to a position where he could just enjoy the game rather than be in wrenching pain.

Nick Kyrgios had an impressive season in 2022. With a doubles Grand Slam title alongside compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis and a Wimbledon final appearance against Novak Djokovic, the Aussie seemed to be having a stellar season, despite his initial struggles with COVID. However, the tennis world saw him making a last-minute withdrawal from the United Cup, on account of an ankle injury. Ultimately, he had to withdraw from the Australian Open as well, this time quoting a Knee injury.

The Serb recently created history at the US Open 2023 by becoming the first player in the Open Era to win 24 Grand Slam titles. He is currently World No.1, a position he has held for 393 weeks in his career. He holds the record for being the No.1 player for the longest duration.

“I think he is the best ever,” he said. While the Serb has clearly established that he is one of the best tennis players in history, people still do not respect him as they should, according to the Aussie. Kyrgios also established that Djokovic is the Greatest of All Time, adding his part to the never-ending ‘GOAT’ debate.
