Nick Kyrgios continues a summer of tennis romances as Carlos Alcaraz rumours swirl
This has been a summer for high-profile tennis romance stories and the stories are being chronicled by some of the biggest names in the sport on their social media channels.
Nick Kyrgios is the latest tennis star to create waves after he confirmed he is dating a new girl, with her presence in Rio for his appearance in the UTS event in the city causing a stir.
Kyrgios was in a high-profile relationship with Costeen Hatzi for over three years until they split in early 2025, with the Aussie maverick now confirming he is dating Melbourne-based partner Danai Stamati.
Observers have been quick to point out that Ms Hatzi and Ms Stamati look more than a little alike, with Stamati confirming they were a couple back in April with an Instagram post that had this message: “Happy birthday, handsome boy. Proud of you every day.”
Stamati has accompanied Kyrgios to Rio, as he makes a rare appearance on court in the dynamic UTS tournament hosted by Patrick Mouratoglou, who is a former coach of Serena Williams.
