Nick Kyrgios recognises female journalist he partied with during press conference
Nick Kyrgios doesn’t forget the people he parties with.
Journalist Lucia Hoff learnt just that after the Australian tennis player recognised her during the post-match press conference at Wimbledon on Thursday.
Following his 3-6 6-3 6-7 6-7 defeat to Rafael Nadal in the second round, Kyrgios was addressing media when he came across a familiar face.
The 24-year-old didn’t hold back as he interrupted saying: “You were at the pub last night,” much to the amusement of the entire press room.
“Oh yes,” she said, following which he replied: “Now it’s awkward.”
Interestingly, Kyrgios partied till late night at London’s Dog & Fox pub just hours ahead of his showdown with Nadal, an 18-time Grand Slam champion. A picture of himself kissing the journalist on the cheek was also published on social media.
Journalist Miguel Seabra, after having a toast with Kyrgios, tweeted: “I just had a toast with Nick Kyrgios at the Dog & Fox. He is completely relaxed, laughing with friends, chatting with girls, drinking. “I love the @estorilopen”, he told me. Quite an unorthodox preparation for tomorrow’s blockbuster, uh? I like it.”
Just Kyrgios things!
