Nick Kyrgios fuels romance rumours with Costeen Hatzi lookalike as telling detail in new photo hints at their romantic getaway in the Bahamas
Nick Kyrgios has continued to fuel romance rumours after he seemed to appear in the background of a social media star's picture. Mia Dalkos, who is a lookalike of the tennis champ's ex-girlfriend Costeen Hatzi, posted a photo to her Instagram while enjoying dinner on Nassau in the Bahamas. Dining at Carna Restaurant, the 23-year-old Love Island alum posted a picture showing a table covered in food at the glitzy restaurant. However, eagle-eyed fans spotted a tattooed hand pointing across the table that looked remarkably like Kyrgios'. Despite reps for Kyrgios, 30, denying the rumours, he and Dalkos have continued to share photos from the tropical paradise, sparking chatter about their connection. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. In the photo taken at dinner, eagle-eyed fans couldn't help but notice a tattooed hand pointing across the table which looked very similar to Kyrgios'. Pictured in the lower right corner The pair were both in the Bahamas two weeks ago, with Kyrgios sharing a picture of his idyllic poolside digs and a mirror selfie confirming his location. Dalkos also shared a short clip showing her point of view from a car journey along a coastal road, tagging Nassau in the caption. Kyrgios then flew to the US for the Washington Open last week and Dalkos seemingly followed as well, posting a snap from the capital city around the same time. Fast forward to now, both Kyrgios and Dalkos have returned to the pristine beaches of Nassau, separately sharing pictures and videos while there. On Tuesday, Dalkos posted a picture of herself looking bronzed as she lay out on a hammock wearing a summery pink top and smiling in a selfie. She also shared a clip to her story that showed her diving into the crystal blue water while wearing a white two-piece. As for Kyrgios, he re-shared a clip of himself cycling in the Bahamas, which was initially posted by his coach James Frawley. The trip comes after Dalkos, whose real name is Efthimia Dalkos, first attracted the athlete's attention a few months ago. A spark first seemed to appear on May 25 when Dalkos posted a video of herself at the hair salon, looking like the spitting image of Kyrgios' ex-partner, Costeen Hatzi. The tennis star left a flirty eye emoji beneath the post and Dalkos promptly responded with her own cheeky smiling emoji. The following day, Dalkos shared a gallery of photos from her sister's wedding as she stepped out at the ceremony in a stunning black dress. 'Beautiful,' Nick wrote beneath the images, to which Dalkos also responded with a red love heart. Just a few days later, a fan noticed the flirty exchange and asked: 'Are you guys dating now?' Kyrgios previously dated Aussie influencer Hatzi, 25, but the pair split in March.

Nick Kyrgios and Alex de Minaur not included in list of US Open doubles wildcards
Nick Kyrgios faces an anxious to wait to see if he'll partner Naomi Osaka in the revamped US Open mixed doubles tournament, while Alex de Minaur's plea to play with his British fiancee Katie Boulter also hasn't yielded immediate results. Neither pairing were among the six wildcards handed out by the US Tennis Association, with two spots remaining for the $1.5m event that will feature 16 pairings and be played the week before the main draw begins. Eight pairs qualify based on rankings and eight are given wildcards, which is where the hopes of Kyrgios and de Minaur now lie. Kyrgios made a playing comeback in the doubles at the DC Open last week in an opening round loss after which he said his knee was 'cooked', which could have prompted officials to give him more time to recover before including him. Before he took the DC Open singles title, de Minaur, the highest-ranked male player not yet in the doubles event, made a plea to US Open officials to add himself and Boulter to the draw. 'We'd be definitely asking for a wildcard, and we're definitely hoping for a wildcard,' he said. 'I think, why not give a little bit of love to a tennis couple? 'We have been going strong, it's been, what, five years already, getting married next year. I think we're showing that there is good chemistry between us. 'I think some of the other partnerships, they haven't really said a word to each other in their lives, right? At least we kind of know each other, so we can hopefully show some good chemistry and hopefully play some good matches there.' Among the six wildcards given out, one went to 45-year-old Venus Williams to play with Reilly Opelka. World No.2 Carlos Alcaraz will also play with Emma Raducanu, while 22-time grand slam champion Novak Djokovic will team up with Olga Danilovic in what looms as a star-studded event. US OPEN MIXED DOUBLES PAIRINGS Qualified (singles ranking in brackets) Emma Navarro (11) & Jannik Sinner (1) Paula Badosa (10) & Jack Draper (5) Iga Swiatek (3) & Casper Ruud (13) Elena Rybakina (12) & Taylor Fritz (4) Amanda Anisimova (7) & Holger Rune (9) Belinda Bencic (15*) & Alexander Zverev (3) Jessica Pegula (4) & Tommy Paul (15) Mirra Andreeva (5) & Daniil Medvedev (14) Wildcards Venus Williams & Reilly Opelka Emma Raducanu & Carlos Alcaraz Madison Keys & Frances Tiafoe Olga Danilovic & Novak Djokovic Taylor Townsend & Ben Shelton Sara Errani & Andrea Vavassori

Nick Kyrgios and Naomi Osaka, Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter omitted from new US Open mixed doubles draw
A mixed doubles pairing featuring Nick Kyrgios and Naomi Osaka looks like box office, and the love-doubles of Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter is another to catch the eye. Neither duo, however, has been accepted by US Open organisers for their revamped mixed doubles format. Venus Williams, however, is in, the 45-year-old fresh from last week's comeback after a year off the circuit, along with a pairing sure to reignite gossip in the British tabloids: Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz. The remodelled 16-team mixed doubles is designed to attract attention of fans, sponsors, television and social media. Taking place in the Fan Week ahead of the main US Open it has a short format and prize money lifted to a $US 1 million ($A1.5m). Eight pairs qualify on the strength of their combined singles rankings, the other eight are given wildcards by the US Tennis Association. The qualifiers and six of the wildcards were announced on Tuesday. Which means two slots remain open — offering hope to Kyrgios, de Minaur and their partners. One could actually be on hold for Kyrgios to confirm his fitness. After his comeback playing doubles with Gael Monfils at the DC Open in Washington last week he posted on social media his knee was 'cooked', but he did complete the match. Another may be being kept open for women's world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, who was partnered with Grigor Dimitrov - but the Bulgarian sustained a pectoral muscle injury while leading eventual winner Jannik Sinner by two sets to love at Wimbledon. Other contenders are Italian duo Jasmine Paolini (nine) and Lorenzo Musetti (10), who were the odd pair out of the three whose combined ranking was 19; Katerina Siniakova and Marcelo Arevalo, who were the women's and men's doubles No.1s until this week when Tayor Townsend usurped Siniakova; or Canadian Olympic bronze medallists Gaby Dabrowski and Felix Auger-Aliassime. DC Open singles winner De MInaur (eight) is the highest ranked man not in the event. Last year's US Open mixed doubles champions, Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori, who dismissed the new format as a 'pseudo-exhibition focused only on entertainment and show' that would shut out true doubles players, have been given a wildcard. So has Novak Djokovic partnering Olga Danilovic. Briton Jack Draper, who was going to play alongside Zheng Qinwen, now partners Paula Badosa, who was going to play with her boyfriend Stefanos Tsitsipas. However, Zheng is injured while Badosa has broken up with Tsitsipas. They qualify on ranking, Badosa/Tsitsipas would have needed a wildcard. Williams, who will play with fellow American Reilly Opelka, won one match each in singles and doubles in Washington after not competing anywhere since the Miami Open in March 2024. She has won 16 doubles grand slam titles, 14 in women's doubles with her younger sister Serena, two in mixed doubles. US Open mixed doubles pairings Qualified (singles ranking in brackets) Emma Navarro (11) & Jannik Sinner (1) Paula Badosa (10) & Jack Draper (5) Iga Swiatek (3) & Casper Ruud (13) Elena Rybakina (12) & Taylor Fritz (4) Amanda Anisimova (7) & Holger Rune (9) Belinda Bencic (15*) & Alexander Zverev (3) Jessica Pegula (4) & Tommy Paul (15) Mirra Andreeva (5) & Daniil Medvedev (14) *protected ranking Wildcards Venus Williams & Reilly Opelka Emma Raducanu & Carlos Alcaraz Madison Keys & Frances Tiafoe Olga Danilovic & Novak Djokovic Taylor Townsend & Ben Shelton Sara Errani & Andrea Vavassori.

US Open omits de Minaur-Boulter, Kyrgios-Osaka mixed-doubles duos
The revamped US Open mixed-doubles event may not include proposed pairings featuring Nick Kyrgios and Alex de Minaur, but they could yet be offered places. The qualifiers, and six of the wildcards, have been announced for the revamped mixed-doubles format, with two slots remaining open. Kyrgios and Naomi Osaka were overlooked by US Open organisers, as were de Minaur and his fiancee, Katie Boulter. Venus Williams, fresh from last week's comeback after a year off the circuit, has been included as part of a wildcard pairing alongside fellow American Reilly Opelka. Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz are also among the wildcard entries. The remodelled 16-team mixed-doubles event is designed to attract attention of fans, sponsors, television and social media. Taking place in the Fan Week ahead of the main US Open, it has a short format and prize money lifted to a $1.5 million. Eight pairs qualify on the strength of their combined singles rankings. The other eight are given wildcards by the US Tennis Association. DC Open singles winner De MInaur, eighth on the ATP rankings, is the highest-ranked male player not included in the event at this stage. One of the remaining slots could be on hold for Kyrgios to confirm his fitness. After his comeback playing doubles with Gael Monfils at the DC Open in Washington last week, Kyrgios posted on social media his knee was "cooked", but he did complete the match. Another slot may be kept open for women's world number one Aryna Sabalenka, who was set to be partnered with Grigor Dimitrov. But Dimitrov sustained a pectoral muscle injury at Wimbledon, when he was leading Jannik Sinner two sets to love in their men's fourth-round match. AAP
