Former AFL champion Josh Gibson split with his partner of nearly two years, Olga Kononchuk, in December.
And on Tuesday, the pair may have had an awkward run-in at the Australian Open.
Both sharing a passion for tennis, Josh and his Russian ex-girlfriend have been seen enjoying the matches at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena.

On Monday, Olga shared a photo of her ‘VIP’ arrival at Rod Laver Arena and told a friend in the comment section: ‘I am here all two weeks in and out.’
The next day, Josh was seen in courtside seating for the match between Daniil Medvedev and Frances Tiafoe.
While the seating capacity of the arena is 14,820, it’s likely the pair would have rubbed shoulders at the venue at least once.
Josh may also bump into Olga over the next two weeks, as he is a regular at the tennis and has previously expressed his excitement for the Australian Open.

She remains on the long road to recovery after sustaining serious spinal injuries in a boating accident in November 2018.
