Costeen Hatzi is breathing a sigh of relief following boyfriend Nick Kyrgios’ “stressful” first-round win at Wimbledon.
In a post shared Tuesday on her Instagram Stories, Hatzi, 22, congratulated the Australian tennis star, 27, after his four-set victory over Britain’s Paul Jubb.
“First round at Wimbledon complete. Super proud of your win,” Hatzi wrote over a video of Kyrgios speaking on the grass court.

In a separate post, Costeen Hatzi also remarked how Nick Kyrgios’ match was “stressful.” Instagram/Costeen HatziHatzi also described Tuesday’s contest as a “stressful match” in a separate Instagram post.
During his match against Jubb, 22, Kyrgios appeared to spit in the direction of an alleged heckler. He then addressed the incident in a press conference.
“Today, as soon as I won the match, I turned to him … I’ve been dealing with hate and negativity for a long time, so I don’t feel like I owed that person anything,” Kyrgios said.

Costeen Hatzi and Nick Kyrgios made their relationship public in late 2021. Instagram/Costeen Hatzi“He literally came to the match to literally just, like, not even support anyone really,” the athlete continued. “It was more just to stir up and disrespect. That’s fine. But if I give it back to you, then that’s just how it is.”
Kyrgios later proclaimed on Instagram that he “survived” the outing against Jubb, and posted a photo of himself with Hatzi, whom he has been dating for several months.
Hatzi has supported Kyrgios at various tournaments this year, and it’s likely she’ll be cheering him on Thursday when he faces Serbia’s Filip Krajinović in the second round.
