Nick Kyrgios has got tongues wagging after a public display with a woman being called a “look-alike” of ex-partner Costeen Hatzi.
The tennis player and cosmetic beauty expert left fans saddened when they confirmed they had separated in April.
The former couple erased each other from their social media accounts and Hatzi last month said they no longer talk.
Kyrgios has instead been talking with former Love Island reality TV contestant Mia Dalkos.
It has not gone unnoticed that Dalkos, whose real name is Efthimia, has unmistakably similar features to the woman Kyrgios recently broke up with.
The Daily Telegraph has labelled Dalkos a Hatzi “look-alike”.
Kyrgios and popular fashion designer Dalkos have caused a stir with flirty recent social media engagements.
Dalkos captured Kyrgios’ attention on Instagram last week when she shared a video of herself glammed up at a hair salon.
Kyrgios commented on the post by sharing a “double eyes” emoji — a less than subtle way of showing Dalkos that he was interested in the post.
The 23-year-old South Australian responded to the former Wimbledon finalist by posting a shy smiling emoji of her own.
The 30-year-old Canberran followed up his first message by posting a blunt “Beautiful” comment on a second photo Dalkos shared the following day.
Dalkos’ post showed her celebrating her sister’s wedding in a flashy black, strapless, full-length dress. She complimented the look with a daring white shoulder accessory.
Kyrgios clearly approved of the ensemble.
Dalkos and Kyrgios have made no public comment on their relationship status.
However, it has not stopped romance rumours going into overdrive with Dalkos’ post filled with Instagram users asking if she and the injured athlete are now an item.
A spokesman for Kyrgios has reportedly denied the pair are dating and said they have been friends for some time.
“They have know each other for a while and are good friends! Big Gordon Ramsay fans also,” the spokesman said, according to The Daily Mail.
Kyrgios and Hatzi have been busy since their break-up and the former world No. 13 reportedly did everything he could to get his body in-shape to play in the men’s doubles draw at the French Open.
However, Kyrgios was forced to pull the pin on his plans to play doubles with Aussie Jordan Thompson when an ongoing knee injury flared up.
Kyrgios, who has been troubled by serious wrist and knee injuries, had been due to make his return to Paris for the first time since 2017 to partner Thompson.
Kyrgios has not won a grand slam singles match since 2022.
Hatzi, 25, has also been busy and raised eyebrows when she appeared to take a dig at her ex in March when she posed for a series of photos shared on TikTok.
The photos included a watermark caption: “The photos are good when the photographer isn’t secretly jealous”.
Kyrgios has at times been the tragic “boyfriends of Insta” photographer behind some of Hatzi’s ritzy influencer posts and selfie shots.
It is a sad end to a relationship that previously sparked baby and engagement rumours.
“We haven’t spoken, relationships come to an end and I believe it’s for the best,” she told The Herald Sun last month.
“And I hope he finds peace and happiness within himself. I definitely entered the relationship with pure intentions, I loved him and thought we had a great connection. Now that I’m not travelling I can do what I want and be fully present.”
In a telling goodbye message ahead of her appearance at Australian Fashion Week, the cosmetics expert also joked: “Maybe I’ll steer away from the athletes”.
