Costeen Hatzis, the girlfriend of Greek-Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios, has studied decoration and is also an influencer who is now one of the most popular faces in Australia.
A day before Maxim magazine released its list of the 100 most influential women in Australia in 2022. At the top is actress Margot Robbie.

On the same list and at No. 21 is Costeen Hatzis, which is of course a huge surprise. The young lady has left behind great women such as Nicole Kidman (No. 48), Cate Blanchett (No. 49), Kylie Minogue (No. 86), Rebel Wilson (No. 26) and many others.

Sports has its place of honour on the list. At No2 is Chelsea footballer Samantha Kerr, at No3 is tennis player Ashley Barty (former No1) and at No4 is swimmer Emma McKeon.
For his part, Nick Kyrgios congratulated his girlfriend after she was named in Maxim magazine’s Hot 100 Australia list.
"Congrats Costeen Hatzi, keep working. This is epic, top 21 most influential females in Australia," Kyrgios wrote on Instagram.
Hatzi, the 21-year-old social media influencer who has an enormous following on Instagram, has been spotted supporting Kyrgios during many of his matches this year. She was present at Wimbledon where Kyrgios made it to the final before going down to Novak Djokovic.
Kyrgios, who has Hatzi's first name tattooed on his leg, has previously credited the Australian model for helping him perform well during the US Open.
"I’m trying to work hard every day, make every session count. Before I would be out every night, now I have a great girlfriend, she helps me, she... you know,” he said, according to news.co.au."
“And my team, I’ve got my physio with me, Will. My team, it’s all my team and I’m just really happy and I’m hoping I can keep it going. I don’t want to let them down, I’ve been on the road for four months, we all have families we want to see, I want to make this count,” he added.
Nick Kyrgios has previously dated Chiara Passari and the two went through a bitter split in October last year. The tennis star has been accused of assault by his ex-girlfriend and received a summons from an Australian court during the Wimbledon Championships.
The Aussie star's legal team announced earlier this month that they sought to have the assault charge dismissed on mental health grounds.
Nick Kyrgios, who has had an incredible season thus far, remains positive despite grappling with a left-knee injury.
The Australian was forced to withdraw ahead of his singles quarterfinal clash at the Japan Open and will miss the upcoming Paris Masters. He is also not taking part in the Swiss Indoors in Basel this week.
Despite the injury, he remains hopeful of doing well at the 2023 Australian Open. The 27-year-old made his mark in this year's edition when he won the men's doubles title partnering compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis.
"AO I'm coming and I will have you," the Canberra-born player wrote on Instagram.
