Nick Kyrgios has stunned fans with a dramatic new look as he recently rang in a milestone occasion.

The tennis champion, who turned 30 in April, took to Instagram this week to debut his jaw-dropping new appearance – and followers could barely believe their eyes.

Gone are the signature dark curls he’s long been known for, replaced by a completely shaved head that left the star athlete looking almost unrecognisable.

In a short clip, the Aussie star confidently showed off the buzzcut from multiple angles, locking eyes with the camera as he embraced the change.

Kyrgios revealed the drastic transformation was in honour of a milestone birthday, telling fans: ’30 is unreal. Not even in my prime yet. And shaved head is UNREAL.’

Kyrgios appears to be embracing change after he confirmed his split from Costeen Hatzi last month. 

Following their split, Kyrgios’ ex-girlfriend Hatzi, 26, delivered a parting message to her tennis star ex.

Rumours of the breakup had been circulating for months, with Kyrgios appearing to unfollow the social media star on Instagram.

The tennis star sparked rumours they had secretly split after he removed her initials from his Instagram bio.

Meanwhile, Hatzi shared multiple cryptic posts, uploading a TikTok in which she appeared to mouth the words: ‘Who the f*** did I marry? So at this point in time, I have filed for divorce’.

She then confirmed the pair ended things on good terms, wishing the best for her ex-partner.

‘I’m loving my work and doing content every day,’ she told The Herald Sun.

‘We haven’t spoken, relationships come to an end. I believe it’s for the best.

‘I hope he finds peace and happiness within himself.

‘I definitely entered the relationship with pure intentions. I loved him, thought we had a great connection.’

The pair began dating back in 2021.

They appeared head over heels for each other following their first meeting – which took place after he messaged Hatzi on social media about a mirror she was selling.

He went to her home to pick up the mirror but as she previously said: ‘It was love at first sight.’

The pair became official in January, 2022 and moved in together, with Hatzi regularly seen following her beau around the world as he competed on the ATP Tour.

After four years together, The Herald Sun revealed they split after a tournament in March, with Hatzi joking: ‘Maybe I’ll steer away from athletes.’
