has given himself a bold new look after being dropped from the presenting team ahead of . The outspoken Aussie was a pundit at SW19 last year, . He has also been overlooked by ESPN despite working for the broadcaster at the Australian Open.
Kyrgios was hoping to play at Wimbledon but has been ruled out of the grass-court season after suffering an injury setback. He has dealt with his fair share of issues over the last few years and is yet to return to full fitness. He announced the news on social media shortly before it was reported that he had been dropped by the BBC.
Now, the 30-year-old has showcased a bold new look in a departure from his usual appearance. He has taken the plunge and shaved his head, having previously been known for his signature dark curls.
Kyrgios revealed his new buzzcut in a short Instagram video, turning his head to show it off from multiple angles. He captioned the post: "30 is unreal. Not even in my prime yet. And shaved head is UNREAL."
The one-time Wimbledon finalist appears to be embracing change after splitting from his girlfriend Costeen Hatzi last month. Rumours of a breakup had been circulating for months before Hatzi finally announced they had gone their separate ways.
The pair began dating in 2021, after Kyrgios had responded to Hatzi's online advert about a mirror for sale. They were initially head over heels for each other, with Hatzi accompanying Kyrgios to tournaments around the world before they called it quits.
Confirming they had ended on good terms, she told Australian media: "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. I thought we had a great connection."
Kyrgios also insisted there was no bad blood with Hatzi following their split, : "Things happen. I wish her nothing but the best. So many incredible moments that will stay with me."
It remains to be seen what Kyrgios will do next, with his absence from Wimbledon creating a gap in his schedule. For now, he appears to be enjoying his time off but will be hoping for a return to the tennis court sooner rather than later.
