Kyrgios made headlines in January 2022 when he teamed up with compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis to win the Australian Open men’s doubles title. They defeated Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell in straight sets in the first all-Australian Grand Slam doubles final since 1980.
Kyrgios has been sidelined for most of the 2023 season due to knee and wrist injuries. The Aussie recently made a comeback at the Boss Open in Stuttgart, Germany, where he suffered a first round loss against Chinese Wu Yibing in straight sets. It was his only singles appearance of the year.
Hatzi has been a constant source of support and inspiration for Kyrgios, who has struggled with injuries and mental health issues in the past. She has accompanied him to many of his tournaments around the world.
