Australian influencer shares shocking photos of himself passed out on a cricket field after a night of taking hard drugs: 'My lowest point'
Australian influencer Kurt Coleman has taken to social media to ' relive' his days of partying - and renounce his 'wild ways '. Posting a throwback photo to his Instagram this week, the 26-year-old TikTok star can be seen sprawled on a patch of grass near a cricket pitch, looking the worse for wear. In the caption Coleman said the photo, taken in 2017, was his 'lowest point' and was snapped after he had spent a night taking an 'unlimited' amount of alcohol and hard drugs. Coleman confessed in the share that at the time he was 'addicted' to partying. He added that after the night the photograph was taken, he never used hard drugs again.

'It's crazy when a flashback of a photo comes up and it's like your lowest point!' he said in the post on Tuesday. He also shared a second image that showed him stretched out on a patch of grass, with a group of cricketers playing a match in the background. 'This was in 2017, when I was working in clubs every night hosting or DJing, and everyone around me would give me unlimited alcohol and drugs all night,' he said. 'I was addicted to partying because I loved the numb feeling of just dancing all night and not caring about anything, so much that I literally made my career and what i was getting paid for all about it.' Coleman indicated that the photo taken on that fateful night was a wake up call. He continued, 'Then I woke up on a cricket field in the photo - that's how one of my best friends found me. 'That was literally my lowest point, and from there I was like, "I'm stopping this. I've never taken any hard drugs since that night."' Coleman said that his partying days were not fuelled by his own attempts to purchase drugs, but by being offered them by others. 'People would just try and give [them] to me all the time when I was out,' he said. He said the experience really woke him up, and he has since stopped partying. Coleman now says he is 'balanced' and is a 'healthy person'. 'I can have a glass of wine and not have to get smashed to feel good,' he admitted. Coleman concluded, 'I'm so grateful for the bad things I've done and that have happened because it's made me want to be better. 'So swipe through and you'll see the best version of me I've become. We've all had low points so I thought I'd share what I consider one of mine to be.' Coleman, who first rose to fame in 2016 thanks to his social media posts, has in recent years been on a health journey. He has shared his weight loss and fitness quest with his fans in recent months. Kurt, who posts regular photos of his body - which he describes as his 'temple' - said he is now the 'most "me" I have ever felt'.

Bublik wins first clay title in Gstaad
World number 34 Bublik won on grass at Halle last month and scooped his second title of the season in Switzerland after bouncing back from a first-round loss at Wimbledon. "This is my sixth title and I have played the greats of the game, but this final I will remember as one of the toughest I ever played," said Bublik. "It was complete torture." Cerundolo was playing in his first tour-level final since 2021 having dumped out top seed Casper Ruud in the last eight on Friday. Bublik will climb back into the top 30 on Monday after a resurgence which has seen him win 17 of 22 matches since the start of the Madrid Open in mid-April. He also reached the quarter-finals at Roland Garros. © 2025 AFP

Iga Swiatek rolls over Amanda Anisimova to win first Wimbledon title
WIMBLEDON, England — After years of struggling on grass, by her high standards, Iga Swiatek finally conquered the surface Sunday in the most emphatic possible manner. The woman who spent most of 2022, 2023 and 2024 as the world's No. 1 but has taken a dip this year returned to her dominating ways to beat Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0, in just 57 minutes in Saturday's Wimbledon final.

Iga Swiatek surprises herself by breaking through her grass ceiling at Wimbledon
Iga Swiatek has surprised herself with her form on grass, and she is now just one victory away from a first senior Wimbledon title. The Pole has been growing in confidence on grass all fortnight and was calmness personified in a 6-2 6-0 victory over Belinda Bencic that lasted just 72 minutes. Advertisement It would have been even quicker but for a lengthy delay three games into the contest when, for a third time on Centre Court on Thursday, a spectator was taken unwell. Iga Swiatek dropped just two games in a dominant display (Jordan Pettitt/PA) All the heat on the court was coming from the racket of Swiatek, who has somewhat improbably surged back to form on the lawns in SW19. It was, by her exceedingly lofty standards, a torrid campaign on her favoured clay for the 24-year-old but a run to the final of the grass-court tournament in Bad Homburg on the eve of Wimbledon appears to have been the catalyst. That was the first final Swiatek had reached at any level since winning her fifth grand slam title at the French Open last spring, and now she is only one match away from matching Carlos Alcaraz by winning major trophies on each surface. Advertisement Swiatek won the girls' title here seven years ago but had never been beyond the quarter-finals in the main event until now and, asked if she had surprised herself, she said: 'I did. Yeah, for sure. Sensational Swiatek strikes on Centre Court ✨ Iga Swiatek produces a remarkable performance against Belinda Bencic to win 6-2, 6-0 and reach her first #Wimbledon final 👏 A defiant semi-final showing from the No.8 seed 👊 — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 10, 2025 'Honestly I never even dreamt it was going to be possible for me to play in the final. I'm just super excited. I thought I experienced everything on the court but I didn't experience playing well on grass. 'I feel confident and I'm just going for it. For sure it's working.' By not winning the French Open for the first time since 2021, Swiatek had more time to prepare on grass, and that groundwork has been paying off in style. Advertisement She denied feeling less pressure this year, saying: 'I think I'm not going to have seasons where the pressure is not going to be kind of forced on me from the expectations from the outside anymore. 'Every year it's kind of the same, but I feel sometimes I can handle it better or ignore it. I think it's easier if you haven't won Roland Garros and also if you had more time to practise.' Belinda Bencic takes a tumble (John Walton/PA) Given her extra experience at the latter stages of slams, and the fact she is yet to lose a final, she will go in as the favourite against American first-timer Amanda Anisimova, who nevertheless will bring a lot more firepower than Bencic. The Swiss has had a superb fortnight and will climb back into the top 20 on Monday less than nine months after returning to the tour following the birth of daughter Bella last April. Advertisement She admitted Swiatek was simply too good, saying: 'I definitely thought today was just a different level from Iga. I thought she played amazing and I didn't feel like she let me in the match for one second. 'Of course, I gave my best. I'm really proud of this tournament. There's nothing I really regret today. In the end she was just too good, and I was a step too short.'
