This year started quite differently for Nick Kyrgios! Rather than stepping on the field as a tennis player, he went for an alternate role and became a part of the Australian Open as a commentator. While tennis fans were quite impressed with his new role and his commentary skills, his girlfriend, who was also present by his side in Melbourne, talked about a different Australian Open experience that she had this year because of Kyrgios’s new role.

Attending the Australian Open as a player’s girlfriend is definitely a tough role, but this year, things were quite different for Costeen Hatzi. Let’s take a look at what she has to say about her different tournament experience as her boyfriend grabbed the new light.

Hatzi recently appeared on ‘The Morning Show’, where she talked about her experience at this year’s Australian Open. She was asked about whether or not it was weird to watch the Wimbledon finalist as a commentator this year. To this, Hatzi replied, “He was commentating this year; unfortunately, he wasn’t playing due to injury. But yeah, it was such a fun time; it was great to see everyone there.”

After that, the host also asked Hatzi about her experience in terms of pressure, because watching the Australian Open as a tennis player’s partner is not that easy. She replied to this by saying, “Oh definitely, it’s it’s an emotional roller coaster when he plays it’s like really intense so it was more of a laid-back fun kind of year.”

Costeen Hatzi openly discussed how, in terms of emotions, this year’s tournament was quite relaxed. In general, when Kyrgios is playing, it is difficult to enjoy all the matches, but this time, Hatzi could just have fun, without feeling the need to be anxious about Kyrgios’ performance.
