27-year-old Nick Kyrgios started dating the social media influencer towards the end of 2021. Hatzi was frequently seen accompanying Kyrgios as he played in tennis tournaments around the world last season. 2022 has been the best year of Kyrgios’ career and he has attributed his happiness off the court with Hatzi as a significant factor for it. The Aussie said this happiness has allowed him to focus on his game and be more consistent.

“I just feel happier off the court, really just trying to be happy off the court – and that shows up on the court too. She [Hatzi] has just the best thing ever and just makes me feel amazing, believes in my tennis and believes in me off the court too. We have such a good relationship,” Kyrgios said. He has often called Hatzi his “secret weapon” for his performances on court.

Kyrgios has also said he will marry Hatzi “very soon” and has her name tattooed on his body. Kyrgios 2022 ended with him at the World Number 22 position with 4 ATP titles to his name. The Canberra native also reached the Wimbledon final, his best performance at a Grand Slam. He also won the 2022 Australian Open doubles tournament with compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis.

Kyrgios will be hoping to have an even better 2023. Injury has meant that he has not been able to start his season yet. The tennis star withdrew from the United Cup at the last minute with an ankle issue. He was not able to recover in time for the Adelaide International and pulled out of it, too. He will likely be ready for the Australian Open, which begins on January 16^.
