During a recent Q&A session on Instagram, Kyrgios was asked: "Will you ever talk on the split with C or keeping it private?"

The former Wimbledon finalist replied: "Things happen. I wish her nothing but the best. So many incredible memories that will stay with me."

Influencer Costeen has also spoken publicly about the breakup.

She recently told the Herald Sun: "I'm loving my work and doing content every day. We haven't spoken, relationships come to an end. I believe it's for the best. I hope he finds peace and happiness within himself. I definitely entered the relationship with pure intentions. I loved him, thought we had a great connection."

During his Instagram Q&A, Kyrgios, who recently turned 30, also showed off his newly shaved head.

A fan asked him: "How’s 30 treating you so far and when are you debuting the new haircut?"

The former Australian Open doubles champion replied: "30 is unreal – not even in my prime yet. And shaved heads is UNREAL."

The big-serving player has been affected by wrist and knee injuries in recent seasons.

Since October 2022, Kyrgios has played just six singles matches, winning only once.

Having planned to play doubles at the French Open, Kyrgios was forced to withdraw due to injury.

He has also been ruled out of Wimbledon because of the knee issue.

Last year, Kyrgios worked as a BBC pundit at SW19.

However, the outspoken star will not be part of the BBC`s coverage this time around.
