Tennis superstar Nick Kyrgios sells Sydney penthouse
Australian tennis superstar Nick Kyrgios has sold his Sydney penthouse for $1,925,000.
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.

Ace swimmer comes up trumps after dealt bad hands
Lani Pallister says it sucked when COVID cruelled her first Olympics. "My Olympics probably were the worst possible for literally anyone internationally," Pallister told AAP. Did it make her mentally tough? "A lot more things before that have made me mentally tough," said the standout swimmer at Australia's selection trials in Adelaide for the looming world titles. "I don't think there's many athletes internationally that have had heart surgery, an eating disorder, glandular fever, post-viral fatigue, and then a functional rhinoplasty all in one year, let alone across their whole career. "Going through that (in 2021), I was just 19, turning 20. I don't think there's anyone in the world that has had to deal with that sort of thing. "So getting COVID was just another thing on top of that. "As much as that sucked, it's just something that happened ... I did the best I could and played the cards that I had." COVID forced Pallister's hand at last year's Paris Olympics. Qualifying for freestyle events over 400m, 800m and 1500m, she had to withdraw from all but the 800m. "You prepare four years of your life for something and then it all falls apart because one thing goes wrong," Pallister said. "I was just disappointed; I'd lost an opportunity to do something really special and it only comes around once every four years." Pallister did win a gold medal in Paris as part of Australia's 4x200m freestyle relay. While grateful, it was just a consolation. "I don't think anyone thinks they're going to qualify for three individual events and a relay and only end up swimming one individual and the relay," she said. "Obviously I came home with a gold medal which was just incredible and I'm really lucky with that. "But I didn't swim anywhere near what I thought I was capable of in the 800, which I think I demonstrated this week." In the Olympic 800m final, Pallister struggled to sixth in eight minutes 21.09 seconds. At the Adelaide trials, she clocked 8:10.84 to break Ariarne Titmus's Australian record. Pallister also won the 400m in a personal best time. And in the last race of the selection meet for the worlds starting on July 27 in Singapore, she set a Commonwealth record in the 1500m freestyle. Her time of 15:39.14 was not only one second quicker than New Zealander Lauren Boyle's mark set in 2015, but almost 10 seconds faster than Pallister's previous personal best. The feat was spurred, in part, by forcing herself to watch the Olympic 1500m final on television. "I actually sat and watched the 1500 final at the Olympics in the village with a mask on, away from everyone," Pallister said. "I put myself through it. It has given me a lot more motivation - not that I needed it. But I never want to feel that way again." Pallister was coached by her mum and 1988 Olympian Janelle until late March this year when she joined master mentor Dean Boxall. "Everything that I have spoken to Dean about is a three-year plan," she said. "I'm not hell-bent on being the best in the world this year." The plan takes her to redemption at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. "And if that means I have to wear a mask 24 hours of the day away from everyone in LA, then that's just something that I'm willing to do," she said. "But I also think having my first Olympics be a disappointing outcome sometimes ends up being a good thing.

Piastri hits the wall in final practice for Canadian GP
Lando Norris has lapped quickest in final Canadian Grand Prix practice but it proved a trying session for his McLaren teammate, championship leader Oscar Piastri, who hit Montreal's wall of champions. Norris lapped the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in one minute 11.799 seconds on Saturday, 0.078 quicker than Ferrari's Charles Leclerc who was back on track after crashing on Friday and missing second practice. Piastri, though, could only finish eighth, with the Australian briefly triggering red flags when he skimmed the famed wall at the last corner and scattered debris with 37 minutes to go. The Melbourne driver was able to get back out again with 24 minutes remaining. Briton Norris had described Friday's practice as McLaren's worst of the season but appeared more comfortable in the last track time before qualifying later on Saturday. Mercedes' 2024 pole-sitter George Russell was third, 0.151 off the pace, with Ferrari's seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton fourth, a quarter of a second slower than Norris. Red Bull's Max Verstappen, chasing an unprecedented fourth successive Canadian win on Sunday, was fifth fastest with Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso sixth. Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli was seventh, ahead of Piastri, who leads Norris by 10 points after nine of the 24 races.

Back after hockey ban, Kookaburra Craig shines again
Tom Craig is celebrating a "new chapter", proving to be the Kookaburras' hockey hero again some 10 months since being thrown out of the Olympics after being arrested on suspicion of trying to buy cocaine during the Paris Games. A humbled Craig said it meant everything to him to score the winner for the Australian men's side in their remarkable 3-2 comeback victory against India in the Belgian city of Antwerp on Saturday. The striker's player-of-the-match show was the highlight of a double Australian success in the FIH Hockey Pro League, with the Hockeyroos defeating India's women's team by the same scoreline 90 minutes later 400km away in London. Last August, Craig ended up apologising for his "terrible mistake" on a night out following his team's elimination in Paris for which he ended up receiving a six-month ban from Hockey Australia, with another six months suspended. The star 29-year-old striker from Lane Cove hadn't been sure if he'd even get back into the squad after his "heartbreaking" exile but, "amazingly grateful" to be chosen, he repaid the faith by powering back to his best for the national team on his 143rd appearance. Two down to goals from India's Olympic bronze medallist striker Abhishek Nain, the Aussies hit back with Craig inspiring the momentum shift as Victorian forward Nathan Ephraums first reduced the deficit in the third quarter. Then Queensland forward Joel Rintala, on his own return after 430 days out with a series of injuries, hammered the equaliser five minutes from time, his ninth goal in just seven internationals. As Australia surged in the final quarter, Craig struck in the final 39 seconds, expertly deflecting Jeremy Hayward's penalty corner into the net to seal a memorable victory. "I'm just happy to be back, I'm always so grateful for the opportunity to play for Australia," said an elated Craig. "It's a new chapter that's for sure, both personally and for this team. I've been welcomed back so graciously, and I'm just so grateful, it means everything, and it feels so good to be back out there." An hour-and-a-half later, the Hockeyroos pulled off another 3-2 triumph in style at the Lee Valley Olympic centre in London, with goals from Courtney Schonell (16 min), Lexie Pickering (22) and a penalty corner strike from Tatum Stewart (35) putting them three up before a late rally from India. It was a terrific comeback after the Australians had been hammered by an aggregate of 13-2 in their two previous League encounters by a mighty Netherlands team. Pickering, who netted her first international goal in her third appearance, said she was "confident it's the start of many more to come." The Hockeyroos had to hold firm in the dying stages to keep out India as they threatened an equaliser. "We didn't make it easy for ourselves in the end there," admitted player-of-the-match Alice Arnott. "But I'm incredibly proud of us and of that win."
