Nick Kyrgios romance rumour spreads after picture detail
Nick Kyrgios has got tongues wagging after a public display with a woman being called a 'look-alike' of ex-partner Costeen Hatzi.
The tennis player and cosmetic beauty expert left fans saddened when they confirmed they had separated in April.
The former couple erased each other from their social media accounts and Hatzi last month said they no longer talk.
Kyrgios has instead been talking with former Love Island reality TV contestant Mia Dalkos.
It has not gone unnoticed that Dalkos, whose real name is Efthimia, has unmistakably similar features to the woman Kyrgios recently broke up with.
The Daily Telegraph has labelled Dalkos a Hatzi 'look-alike'.
Kyrgios and popular fashion designer Dalkos have caused a stir with flirty recent social media engagements.
Dalkos captured Kyrgios' attention on Instagram last week when she shared a video of herself glammed up at a hair salon.
Kyrgios commented on the post by sharing a 'double eyes' emoji — a less than subtle way of showing Dalkos that he was interested in the post.
The 23-year-old South Australian responded to the former Wimbledon finalist by posting a shy smiling emoji of her own.
The 30-year-old Canberran followed up his first message by posting a blunt 'Beautiful' comment on a second photo Dalkos shared the following day.
Dalkos' post showed her celebrating her sister's wedding in a flashy black, strapless, full-length dress. She complimented the look with a daring white shoulder accessory.
Kyrgios clearly approved of the ensemble.
Dalkos and Kyrgios have made no public comment on their relationship status.
However, it has not stopped romance rumours going into overdrive with Dalkos' post filled with Instagram users asking if she and the injured athlete are now an item.
A spokesman for Kyrgios has reportedly denied the pair are dating and said they have been friends for some time.
'They have know each other for a while and are good friends! Big Gordon Ramsay fans also,' the spokesman said, according to The Daily Mail.
Kyrgios and Hatzi have been busy since their break-up and the former world No. 13 reportedly did everything he could to get his body in-shape to play in the men's doubles draw at the French Open.
However, Kyrgios was forced to pull the pin on his plans to play doubles with Aussie Jordan Thompson when an ongoing knee injury flared up.
Kyrgios, who has been troubled by serious wrist and knee injuries, had been due to make his return to Paris for the first time since 2017 to partner Thompson.
Kyrgios has not won a grand slam singles match since 2022.
Hatzi, 25, has also been busy and raised eyebrows when she appeared to take a dig at her ex in March when she posed for a series of photos shared on TikTok.
The photos included a watermark caption: 'The photos are good when the photographer isn't secretly jealous'.
Kyrgios has at times been the tragic 'boyfriends of Insta' photographer behind some of Hatzi's ritzy influencer posts and selfie shots.
It is a sad end to a relationship that previously sparked baby and engagement rumours.
'We haven't spoken, relationships come to an end and I believe it's for the best,' she told The Herald Sun last month.
'And I hope he finds peace and happiness within himself. I definitely entered the relationship with pure intentions, I loved him and thought we had a great connection. Now that I'm not travelling I can do what I want and be fully present.'
In a telling goodbye message ahead of her appearance at Australian Fashion Week, the cosmetics expert also joked: 'Maybe I'll steer away from the athletes'.

West Indies vs Australia first Test: Sam Konstas speaks ahead of his return as opener
Teenage opener Sam Konstas said Saturday he had 'come a long way' from his combative debut against India after winning his place back for Australia's opening Test against the West Indies. The 19-year-old made headlines in the Melbourne Boxing Day Test last year when he took on fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah to make a blazing debut 60 with a slew of unorthodox shots. But he only lasted one more Test before being jettisoned with some pundits seeing his batting as 'reckless'. With a struggling Marnus Labuschagne dropped for the opening Test in Barbados on June 25 and Steve Smith out nursing an injured finger, Konstas has another chance, confirmed as a certain starter. 'The emotions probably got to me with the crowd,' Konstas, who has his Test cap No. 468 tattooed on his forearm, said of his explosive Boxing Day knock. 'I've been trying to focus on a few key areas with my batting coach, and I feel like I've come a long way, so hopefully I can display that in the next few Test matches.' Konstas is set to open alongside Usman Khawaja, 19 years his senior, with an opportunity to cement the position as his own. Since David Warner retired some 18 months ago, Australia have tried five openers, including Konstas, and with an Ashes series against England later this year they need stability. 'Very excited. Obviously it's a tough team to crack into as we've got legends of the game,' the teenager said. 'Hopefully I grab my opportunity with both hands. 'It's a dream come true to be honest, 19 years old, playing for your country, travelling the world. I'm very lucky to be where I am currently.' Australia play three Tests against the West Indies.

Training partners Patrick and Michelle Payne claim a winning quartet at Flemington on Saturday
Jimmy The Bear delivered a landmark Flemington four-timer for sibling co-trainers Patrick and Michelle Payne with victory in The David Bourke (1620m). The consistent gelding made amends for a last start Flemington defeat with a strong performance under rising star apprentice jockey Tom Prebble, who sealed a running treble with the win. Michelle Payne hailed the Flemington milestone as 'a huge team effort'. 'Patrick has worked so hard at home with everybody, it's a huge team effort,' Payne said. ' Jimmy is the stable favourite, so beautiful to do it with him.' Earlier on the card, Payne saddled winners Buccleuch, Stop The Rock and Bold Soul. Patrick Payne trained four provincial winners previously at Mildura in 2022. The four-timer bettered Michelle Payne's best efforts in the saddle before she turned her hand to training. 'I nearly rode the quaddie legs at Bendigo one day,' Payne laughed. 'I got pipped on the post, so three sadly.' Payne praised the 'beautiful' rides of Billy Egan (Buccleuch and Stop The Rock) and nephew Tom Prebble (Bold Soul and Jimmy The Bear) at Flemington. Prebble rated Jimmy The Bear nicely three back the rail but needed galloping room in the straight. 'Beautiful ride by Tom, he didn't panic,' Payne said. 'Obviously he had to guide him through a tight run and the horse just did the rest.' Jimmy The Bear is set to advance to the Listed Winter Championship Series Final (1600m) at Flemington on July 5. 'All going well, I can't see why not,' Payne said. 'He's training on beautifully and today was a really effortless win.' Prebble enjoyed riding another winner for the family. 'He put his best foot forward today and he was super,' Prebble said. 'He's a big horse, I knew he would be able to push his way out if I needed to, but had to wait for the race to unfold, Flemington is a beautiful track and usually every horse does gets its chance.' Casino Seventeen, the 2024 Perth Cup winner, finished off well to run second in The David Bourke at his first start in Melbourne for Cranbourne trainer Gavin Bedggood. Holymanz and Pounding rounded out the top four. Earlier, Payne enjoyed the win of progressive three-year-old Stop The Rock. 'He's a lovely horse, he's a real sleeper actually,' Payne said. 'All of his trials before he raced were pretty moderate and Patrick put the blinkers on his first start and he won at good odds at Warrnambool, he just seems to step up to the mark on race day.'
