During the 2022 season, Nick Kyrgios opened up about the challenging times he went through, but now, he seems to have a much different mindset and will play in the 2022 Wimbledon final.
In 2022, the career of the 27-years-old Australian is skyrocketing and it seems that Costeen Hatzi, girlfriend of Nick Kyrgios, helped him a lot to achieve his true potential. The contribution of Hatzi was detailed also by Christos Kyrgios, Nick's brother, who penned a letter to his brother ahead of the 2022 Wimbledon final against Novak Djokovic in the Sunday Morning Herald.
“For a big chunk of the last six or seven years, I lost my little brother. That kid I grew up with, who was so carefree and engaging, was almost gone. The world changed him. Tennis changed him. He became distracted; always worried about something. Even when you were with him, he wasn’t present in the moment."
“People wouldn’t know this but Nick and I stopped talking for quite a while. When he was going out until all hours of the morning, trying to drink his way out of his depression, I overstepped the mark. I crossed the line. Although, in my heart I know it was coming from a good place."
"He was a prisoner in his own body, going through the motions without any sense of happiness in the life he'd worked so hard to make for himself. I'd come over to visit mum and dad's, and Nick wouldn't get out of bed before midday. And when he did, he was straight out the door. In four or five days, I'd see him for an hour. I missed my brother. I didn't know this other person that he had become."
“But since he met his girlfriend Costeen, she’s helped open his eyes again. She’s cut from that same cloth where family is the most important thing. There was a lot of chaos in Nick’s life before he met her. The way he wanted his life to be was not the way things were unfolding. He was caught between trying to be someone everyone said he was and being the person he wanted to be.”
