Nick Kyrgios' Wimbledon drama, split from girlfriend and Rafael Nadal hate
Kyrgios made an appearance from the stands in Naomi Osaka's private box during her first-round match at the All England Club. This affiliation with the Japanese star came just weeks after the former world No. 13 confirmed his split from longtime girlfriend, Costeen Hatzi.
Kyrgios continued to court backlash at Wimbledon as he called for a ban of his own by urging the tournament's chiefs to scrap the all-white tradition. The Australian broke this rule - which has stood since the 1880s - during his run to the final in 2022 when he wore a red hat and shoes onto Centre Court before swapping them out before the match.
Kyrgios was also spotted in Naomi Osaka's private box during her first-round match at the All England Club. This public show of support for the Japanese player came shortly after the former world No. 13 announced his break-up from long-term girlfriend, Costeen Hatzi.
