Tennis superstar Nick Kyrgios sells Sydney penthouse
The 30-year-old champion offloaded his luxury three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in the sought-after and award-winning Capella building in Kensington on Friday morning, a day before its scheduled auction date.
The sale comes just weeks after he pulled out of the French Open – where he featured on the preliminary entry list for the men's doubles at Roland Garros alongside fellow Aussie Jordan Thompson – due to a knee injury; he has since confirmed on Instagram that he will have to sit out the grass season too.
Kyrgios' Sydney pad hit the market with a $1.8 million price guide after news of his break-up from Costeen Hatzi, his girlfriend of four years.
The oversized apartment has a private, 24-square-metre rooftop terrace with city views, level lift access to double garaging, a heated outdoor pool and a gym.
It sold to a Rose Bay family through selling agent Triston Oddi of PPD Real Estate, who declined to comment when contacted.
Since buying the home in 2021, for $1.6 million, Kyrgios had repainted it and replaced the kitchen with a new, sleek stone version.
He is looking to move back to Canberra, where he was born and bred.

I don't look at that stuff: Bashir plays down Lyon jibe
Shoaib Bashir has said he is unfazed at Nathan Lyon's lukewarm assessment of him, despite England's first-choice spinner being an admirer of his Australian rival for many years. With 562 wickets in 139 Tests, Lyon has been one of the standard bearers for his generation and is poised to be Australia's frontline spinner for this winter's blockbuster Ashes against England. The 37-year-old is well-known for stoking the pre-Ashes flames and suggested at a Cricket Australia function a fortnight ago that Jack Leach is still England's best spinner, adding Bashir "has been OK". Bashir, currently recovering from surgery on the little finger of his left hand, was unmoved by the jibe, as he told the PA news agency: "Everyone has their own opinions and that's fine. "I just stick to what I believe and what the people around me believe. I don't really look at that stuff." Bashir was far more complimentary towards Lyon as the 21-year-old added: "I've never crossed paths with him but I have been watching him since I was young. "I do enjoy the way he bowls, especially his overspin, it's a great asset he has, and the amount of revs he puts on the ball. He's someone I've been looking at for a while now." Taller than Lyon at 6ft 4in but with the same wiry frame, Bashir, whose 68 Test wickets have been at a modest average of 39, has been tipped to capitalise on excess bounce often found on Australian pitches. A reconnaissance mission Down Under last winter yielded just four wickets in five matches for England Lions but Bashir, having worked under Graeme Swann there, feels better prepared for the experience. Bashir said: "I learned you do get bounce but you've got to find a way to use that. I've got height but there's more than just height to extract bounce from the wicket. Just small technical things. "It's just (about) nailing what I do best. If you look at my attributes - I'm tall and try to put as many revs on the ball as I can, with that comes variations. "I'm still learning, still quite young, I'm still trying develop my game and better myself day-by-day. That will never stop. I love talking about the game and I love learning." Bashir is likely to get his first experience of Ashes cricket on November 21 in Perth, having featured in a hotly-contested series against India this summer where there were a number of flashpoints. The battle for the urn could see more heated scenes and Bashir, usually a cool customer, insisted he would not be afraid to stand his ground as England look for a first win in Australia since 2010-11. He said: "Don't be surprised if I do have a word but I genuinely like to keep things cool. If things do get heated then I'm there. "It would be special and a great achievement (to win the series), especially with this regime at the moment. We're looking forward to what it brings."

Star Demon hits top gear in dominant win over Bulldogs
An Olivia Purcell masterclass has propelled Melbourne to a dominant 48-point AFLW win over the Western Bulldogs. Purcell finished with a monster haul of one goal, 33 disposals and seven clearances to help the Demons steamroll the hosts 9.8 (62) to 1.8 (14) and retain the Hampson-Hardeman Cup. But the Demons didn't come out of their fourth straight win over the Bulldogs unscathed, with ruck-forward Tayla Harris suffering an eye injury. Harris showed glimpses of her All-Australian best in her first game back from a shoulder injury, before being forced out in the second quarter. After pulling off a trademark speccy just moments earlier, Harris copped an arm to her face in a marking contest with Bulldogs counterpart Alice Edmond. The 28-year-old had only played one game last year, requiring surgery after hurting her left shoulder. Melbourne, semi-finalists the previous year, missed the top eight in her absence. Tyla Hanks was just as busy on Saturday with 29 disposals, and kicked two goals to match Kate Hore and Eden Zanker. The Western Bulldogs had their own returning star, with former skipper Ellie Blackburn collecting 17 touches through managed minutes. Blackburn was limited to three games last season before hurting her foot. Jasmyn Smith was the Bulldogs' main ball winner with 21 disposals. Demons debutant Maggie Mahoney was denied the first goal of the game on the line by Bulldogs defender Issy Grant. Melbourne found the opener from an unlikely source, defender Shelley Heath breaking through almost 13 minutes into the first quarter. It was Heath's fifth goal in her eighth AFLW season. Demons skipper Hore then hit the scoreboard to help set up a 12-point lead at halftime after intercepting a dangerous kick-out meant for Grant. Heidi Woodley slotted the home side's first - and only - goal after winning a scrap in the second quarter. Bulldogs midfielder Jess Fitzgerald could have reduced the halftime deficit after the siren but hit the post with her set shot. Melbourne's ascendancy continued well into the second half, building a 39-point lead after kicking 4.3 against the scoreless Bulldogs in the third quarter.
