"So spoilt" - Nick Kyrgios' girlfriend Costeen Hatzi reacts to the Australian petting a dog

Nick Kyrgios' girlfriend Costeen Hatzi had an adorable reaction to seeing the tennis star affectionately petting a dog.

Kyrgios has been dating Hatzi since December 2021. Hatzi is a 23-year-old Australian social media influencer and interior designer who frequently attends Kyrgios' matches.

The couple was also included in Netflix's tennis docuseries 'Breakpoint', which covered Kyrgios' 2022 season and gave fans an insight into the early days of his relationship with Hatzi.

Costeen Hatzi took to her Instagram on Friday (September 22) to share a cute video where Kyrgios was seen petting a dog. She playfully said that the dog was spoiled by the former Wimbledon finalist's affection.

"This dog is so spoilt @k1ngkyrg1os," she wrote.

Meanwhile, Nick Kyrgios is attempting to return to professional tennis as soon as possible. He is currently recovering from an injury that forced him to miss the majority of the tournaments this year, including the Australian Open, the Wimbledon Championships, the French Open and the US Open.

In an interview with AAP, Nick Kyrgios spoke about his girlfriend Costeen Hatzi and claimed that she is the best thing that has ever happened to him. He also expressed his gratitude towards her for motivating and pushing him through what was his breakthrough year.

"Meeting Costeen was probably my favorite moment, probably the best thing that's happened to me - and the year I've had as a highly motivated and highly pushed player, has been because of her. That's been my favorite experience," Nick Kyrgios said.

"None of this could have been done without her. It's been a very successful year, not only on the tennis court but just in general. I'm feeling really, really good about everything and just enjoying life," he added.

The 28-year-old gave an insight into his relationship, claiming that his girlfriend believes in him both on and off the court.

"I just feel happier off the court, really just trying to be happy off the court - and that shows up on the court too. She's just the best thing ever and just makes me feel amazing, believes in my tennis and believes in me off the court too. We have such a good relationship," the Aussie explained.
