Penthouse sale serves $1.925 million payday for tennis star Nick Kyrgios
Loading content...
Tennis star Nick Kyrgios has offloaded his luxury Sydney penthouse on the eve of its scheduled auction.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment sold on June 13 for $1.925 million with Tristan Oddi and Brandon Shaw of PPD Real Estate.
The property in Kensington was marketed with a guide of $1.8 million.
Cotality records show the 30-year-old athlete purchased the property in Sydney's Eastern suburbs for $1.6 million in March 2022.
The sale follows Canberra-born Kyrgios' split from long-term girlfriend, influencer Costeen Hatzi, 26, earlier this year.
The pair dated for four years.
Positioned on the top floor of the Capella building, the penthouse boasts wrap-around windows with panoramic views of the city and stretching as far as the Blue Mountains.
The property also has a private 24 square metre rooftop garden terrace with a wet bar.
Inside, the floor plan comprises a large master suite with an ensuite and two built-in robes, two additional bedrooms, and the main bathroom.
The open-plan living space is filled with natural light from the walls of glass.
The sleek kitchen features stone benchtops, an island bench with built-in wine storage and Miele appliances.
The sale includes two car parking spaces, and owners can access the heated outdoor lap pool and on-site gym.
According to Cotality, the median price of a unit in Kensington is $1.06 million.
Kyrgios, who celebrated his 30th birthday in April, debuted as a professional tennis player in 2012.
He has won seven ATP Tour singles titles and reached 11 finals, including a major final at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships.
Kyrgios ruled himself out of competing at Wimbledon this year due to a knee injury, which forced him to abandon a planned return at the French Open last month.
On Instagram on June 2, he said: "Just wanted to give everyone a quick update - I've hit a small setback in my recovery and unfortunately won't make it back for grass season this year.
"I know how much you've all been looking forward to seeing me out there, and I'm genuinely sorry to disappoint.
"This is just a bump in the road, though, and I'm already working hard to get back stronger than ever."
Kyrgios has been absent from playing at Wimbledon since losing the 2022 final to Novak Djokovic.
A combination of knee, foot and wrist injuries has plagued his playing career.
The former world No.13 has played four singles matches this year.
He claimed his first tour victory in two-and-a-half years at the Miami Open in March.
Although he won't compete at Wimbledon this year, Kyrgios will bring his podcast Good Trouble with Nick Kyrgios to the Wimbledon Theatre in London on June 24.
The show will head to New York City's Beacon Theatre in August before coming to Australia for five dates in November, including appearances at the Sydney Opera House and Canberra Theatre Centre.
The tour will reportedly feature a "huge surprise guest".

NFL: Queenslander Luke Felix-Fualalo joins Seattle Seahawks
It used to be that Australians could only be punters in the NFL, but a Brisbane-born giant has joined a growing cohort of non-punters to ink a deal. The surging ranks of Australians in the NFL continue to swell with the Seattle Seahawks swooping on Queenslander Luke Felix-Fualalo. The 200cm, 139kg monster from Brisbane will join fellow Aussie Michael Dickson in Seattle after being picked up as an undrafted rookie out of the University of Hawaii. Felix-Fualalo, who was born in Brisbane but went to high school in California before beginning his college career in Utah, took part in Seattle's rookie minicamp last month as a tryout player. A spot on the Seahawks roster the opened up after Seattle waived tight end Mitch Van Vooren on Friday, and Felix-Fualalo, an offensive lineman, was given his chance. — Seattle Seahawks Australia & New Zealand (@seahawksAUNZ) June 16, 2025 He joins a huge cohort of countrymen now in the NFL, with his deal coming after Laki Tasi signed with the Las Vegas Raiders in April. He came out of the international pathways program, which also helped former Wallabies backline star Jordan Petaia land a deal with the Las Angeles Chargers. They are part of a growing number of non-punting Australians in the NFL, looking to follow in the footsteps of Super Bowl-winning Jordan Mailata, who has signed a $100m deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. Felix-Fualalo's addition to the Seahawks roster also comes a week after Dickson signed a four-year, $25m contract extension with the team, making him the highest-paid punter in the NFL. But the cut-throat nature of the NFL has cost a couple of Australians their spots in 2025. The San Francisco 49ers cut punter Mitch Wishnowsky, and more recently the Jacksonville Jaguars let go Patrick Murtagh, who failed to play a game after being signed first by the Detroit Lions, also via the international player pathway, before suffering an injury. He then spent time with the Jaguars in 2024 and this off-season before being cut. But the likes of Mailata, Daniel Faalele (Baltimore) and Adam Gotsis, who has played 126 games for four NFL teams and is now signed at Tampa Bay, continue to fly the Aussie flag along with a slew of punters including newly signed James Burnip, who joined fellow Aussie Matt Hayball at New Orleans.

Chris O'Connell bounced by Holger Rune after having less than 3 hours to prepare, Alex Bolt also exits Queens
The first wave of Australia's Queen's Club contingent has made little impact on the prestigious Wimbledon warm-up, with Alex Bolt and Chris O'Connell both dispatched in the first round without winning a set. Given their opposition, that was little surprise, though in the nascent grass court season, they did have the advantage of having spent time on the turf after playing in qualifying. Bolt, up against the up-and-coming Scot Jacob Fearnley, went down 6-2, 6-4 . The South Australian, wearing a lot of strapping on his right knee but moving well enough, was broken early and late in the first set, but moved comfortably to 4-4 in the second. But Bolt, watched by his partner, British player Katie Swan, then dropped the first point on serve. Suddenly, the pressure rose and Fearnley broke. Bolt battled hard to lead 15-0 and 30-15 but could not force a break-back point and the British number two served out. Earlier on Monday, O'Connell, who had been beaten by Bolt in the second round of qualifying on Sunday, found himself facing fourth seed Holger Rune as a lucky loser. Given less than 3 hours' notice after Matteo Arnaldi withdrew with an ankle injury, O'Connell began well, forcing a break opportunity in the third game. He failed to take it, however, and the Dane, playing his first game of the year on grass, then settled. O'Connell was still very much in the game when serving at 3-4, but within the blink of an eye the first set was gone 6-3. Rune, currently ranked ninth in the world, broke again midway through the second set and took it 6-4. British wildcard veteran Dan Evans, now 35 and ranked a lowly 199, delighted a crowd basking in unusually hot London sunshine with a boilover 7-5, 6-2 victory against seventh seed Frances Tiafoe. But British number three Cameron Norrie, a former finalist, lost to Czech teenager Jakub Mensik 7-6 (8-6), 1-6, 6-1. Roberto Bautista Agut saved a match point before beating Portugal's Nuno Borges 6-7 (8-6), 7-5, 6-4, the Spaniard winning five straight games after trailing 4-1 in the second set. On Wednesday morning (AEST), Alex de Minaur opens play at midday local time on Andy Murray Arena in his first match since crashing out of Roland-Garros feeling burned-out mentally and drained physically. Seeded five, he faces Jiri Lehecka. The Czech, ranked 30, is a potentially tricky opponent. De Minaur, who slipped to 12 in the rankings updated yesterday, having not defended his title at Rosmalen last week, won their previous meeting, indoors in the 2023 Davis Cup, but Lehecka KO'd two top-20 players on grass on his last Wimbledon visit, in 2023. At the same time on court 5, Alexei Popyrin, now ranked at a career-high 21, plays Aleksandar Vukic in an all-Aussie affair while Jordan Thompson goes later against Jaume Munar. In Nottingham, James McCabe, having come through qualifying, faced British wildcard George Loffhagen in a repeat of their final at the same venue on the lowest-tier world tennis tour last year. McCabe won that one 6-0, 6-1 and it was the same result at Challenger level, albeit much closer, as the Australian won 6-3, 7-6 (7-4). AAP
