Nick Kyrgios Sends Genie Bouchard A 'Special Shoutout' After Recent Break-Up

Tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios has teased fans by posting a throwback photo of Genie Bouchard cheering him on from his courtside box at Wimbledon in 2019.

The 25-year-old Australian's relationship with Russian tennis star Anna Kalinskaya ended last month as tensions boiled over on social media.

But Kyrgios, who has shared history with Bouchard on the court, posted a photo of the 26-year-old Canadian stunner on his Instagram Story on Thursday night.

"Swaggy as f**k box," Australia's bad boy tennis star wrote as the caption.

Bouchard can be spotted sitting alongside younger sister Charlotte in Kyrgios' box at the All England Club, with his father sitting one row ahead of the tennis star.

Kyrgios' close relationship with Bouchard previously sparked rumours that the pair have been romantically involved off the court.

But neither Kyrgios nor Bouchard have confirmed any romantic attachment that they've shared in their personal lives.

However, the Australian has previously been linked with Bouchard's twin sister, Beatrice, after she posted a photo of them on Instagram last year.

"Good company," Beatrice wrote as the photo's caption.

Bouchard sent social media into meltdown in March when she suggested that quarantine "would be a lot more fun with a boyfriend."

And Kyrgios, who played mixed doubles with Bouchard, popped up in the replies not long later with his own thoughts on her request.

Kalinskaya, 21, captioned one post with "f*****g energy vampire" before deleting it from social media.

According to reports, the Russian beaut posted another caption where she said that Kyrgios wasn't "a bad boy, you're simply a bad person."

But the 21-year-old has since denied that the comments were about Kyrgios and insisted she "didn't mean to comment about him."

Kalinskaya told Confidential: "He did nothing. He is a good person and I didn't mean to comment about him.

"I don't know why people think it's about him. He is a great player and nice person."
