Nick Kyrgios sets tongues wagging with VERY racy nightclub photo with girlfriend Costeen Hatzi in Los Angeles: ‘Keep it PG, guys’

Nick Kyrgios has got tennis fans talking again after posting an intimate photo with girlfriend Costeen Hatzi on Instagram.

The Australian tennis star’s future remains unclear as he works his way towards full fitness, but he isn’t letting his injury woes get him down – if his latest social media post is anything to go by.

Kyrgios, 28, shared a photo of himself licking Hatzi’s neck during a night out at a Los Angeles nightclub, although his close friend and fellow tennis star Thanasi Kokkinakis suggested the overt romantic act was a bit much.

“Keep it on pg pls,” he commented on the post.

A tennis Twitter account posted a screenshot of the image next to a photo of a GOAT with its tongue out.

“The best Nick Kyrgios will become the GOAT of tennis,” the caption read.

Next to the photo, Kyrgios posted the caption: ‘And what? Love is something crazy? Lol, we’re all trying to figure out it’s not a lie.’

Hatzi also wrote: ‘This is killing me. I love you’.

Elsewhere, Australian Open boss Craig Tiley has significantly softened his language on Kyrgios’ likely availability for the tournament, casting doubt over whether the star will appear in court in January.

Tiley said last month that he “fully expected” Kyrgios to play in January, but told reporters on Thursday that the 28-year-old would have to consider what is best for his health with the full 2024 season ahead of him.

Kyrgios played just one match in 2023 after withdrawing from all four grand slams due to a persistent knee injury and a torn ligament in his wrist ahead of Wimbledon.

The pair have traveled the world together since they met

His world ranking has fallen to 192, with Tiley suggesting the explosive star would be given a wildcard if he was fit to play.

“We have spoken to Nick and he obviously wants to do his best to give him the best opportunity to play in January…Nick’s position will be determined closer to the event,” Tiley said.

‘I think whatever gives him the best chance to progress over the year… we have wildcard exchanges with the French and Wimbledon, so there’s an opportunity to really help an Australian player not just one tournament to have, but several, so we We’ll weigh all that to make a decision. We have wildcards to do that.

‘Whether he plays or does something else, Nick will be here in January and it will be great to get him playing, but we have to take it as it comes and he has to take care of his health…’ because he not only has January, but also the whole year (ahead).”
