Australian tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios has busted up with his girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya.

Russian tennis star Kalinskaya, 21, confirmed the break up on Instagram.

“We broke up. We aren’t friends,” she responded to a fan’s question on a live video.

“I understand you are his friends and it’s cool but I’m not going to talk about him. Have some respect for me as well please.”

Earlier, Kalinskaya had captioned a photo on her Instagram account: “You're not a bad boy, you are simply a bad person”.

The post sparked suggestions the pair had split.

She later changed the caption.

Kyrgios, 25, was first rumoured to be dating Kalinskaya in August when he cheered her on at the 2019 Citi Open in Washington.

In March he was photographed kissing her on the forehead in Mexico in March.

In 2017, Kyrgios was linked to another tennis player, Sydney’s Monique Belovukovic.

The pair stumbled arm-in-arm out of Cirque Le Soir nightclub at 3am just hours after he pulled out of the 2017 Wimbledon tournament with a hip injury.

At the time, Belovukovic insisted the pair were “just friends”.

Last year, Belovukovic tested positive to cocaine when police pulled her over while driving.

She denied having taken the drug when questioned by police and later said her drink had been spiked.

She was convicted and fined $500.

Kyrgios has also dated tennis player Ajla Tomljanovic.

Tomljanovic, who was born in Croatia, has played for Australia. They were reportedly a couple between 2015 and 2017.

Kyrgios is currently ranked 40 in the world men’s singles.
