Australian tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios has posted a gym selfie on social media showing a coach without a shirt on, describing the scenario as ’embarrassing.’

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, a bemused Kyrgios couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

‘Only in Australia,’ the 27-year-old posted with an accompanying laughing emoji.

‘At a national academy and a ‘coach’ / ‘staff’ is in the gym with his shirt off.

‘Haha these are the people that are supposed to be guiding our youth. I’m embarrassed for real.’

Many of Kyrgios’ followers failed to comprehend what was so ’embarrassing’, prompting the Canberra born athlete to explain you would never see European tennis coaches parading around shirtless in a gym while mentoring emerging athletes.

The polarising tennis star was in the mood to stir the pot – he later tweeted a video of his serve which he labelled ‘poetry.’

Previously, Kyrgios has hinted at getting engaged to his girlfriend Costeen Hatzi – calling her ‘wifey’ and posting a diamond ring emoji with a photo of the couple cuddling on the court – but he took things up a notch in a recent Instagram post. 

He was responding to recent questions in a Q&A session on his Instagram story when one fan asked, ‘When are you marrying coz’.

Kyrgios responded with a picture of him embracing his partner after a match at this year’s Australian Open accompanied by the caption, ‘Very soon’ followed by heart and diamond ring emojis.

The star and his designer furniture retailer partner have been very upfront about their feelings for each other on social media.

When she baked him a NBA-themed cake for the basketball fan’s birthday in late April, Kyrgios could be heard calling her ‘wifey’ as he thanked her for the dessert in a video posted just hours after he posted photos of them to Instagram with padlock and diamond ring emojis.

Costeen posted a gushing tribute to him: ‘I can’t wait to do life with you and travel the world together, I love you today and forever, my squish.’

Kyrgios’ management soon denied the pair – who became an item in December last year after he split with long-time girlfriend Chiara Passari – were engaged.

Hatzi watched all of Nick’s matches at this year’s Australian Open as he took out the men’s doubles title with close friend Thanasi Kokkinakis and has been described as a ‘key member’ of his team.

The pyschology student just celebrated her 22nd birthday and the pair are living in the inner-Sydney suburb Zetland.
