Nick Kyrgios has credited his girlfriend, Costeen Hatzi, for becoming a stabilizing force in his life.
Kyrgios has had a tumultuous life, and not just when it comes to tennis. There were plenty of things going on in his private life which also impacted his tennis career negatively.
The Australian player spoke about his issues with depression and suicidal thoughts at length, as well as other problems over the years. More recently, though, he’s been about as happy as he’s ever been and his tennis has improved dramatically as well.
Much of what went right for Kyrgios recently has to do with his current girlfriend, Costeen Hatzi, who he has credited for basically saving his life. She’s been a very positive influence in his life and now he’s penned an emotional letter to her on Instagram.
Kyrgios doesn’t look like the romantic type necessarily, but it’s clear that he has a lot of love for his girlfriend which is also reflected in the letter he penned to her.
"Dear Coz, what a journey we have been on already. My life has honestly never been the same since I’ve met you, you continue to make me smile and be everything I need in tough moments. There will always be struggle in life & and I only ever want to ride the ups and downs with you."
Kyrgios continued and finished on a nice note, telling her that she is his best friend and that he loves her very much.
"We explore the world and continue to experience all the craziness out there, but this is just a small reminder that I love you & you are my best friend."
Fans are happy to see Kyrgios doing so well because, in many ways, he deserves it. There was a lot of negative said about him over the years and not all was warranted.
