Belarussian tennis ace Victoria Azarenka apparently seems to be involved in an Instagram hook-up with Australian teen sensation Thanasi Kokkinakis.
The former world number one female tennis player followed the 18-year-old tennis sensation on Instagram and Kokkinakis obliged by returning the favour and following Azarenka, who is seven years his elder, right back.
Kokkinakis claimed that he thought it wouldn't be polite if he didn't follow back, adding that straight away Azarenka followed him on Twitter and sent him a message, News.com.au reported.
Kokkinakis said that it was kind of weird how it happened, claiming that he doesn't know.
Kokkinakis has responded to other tweets by Azarenka in the four months since, including three on a one day in November, when they traded notes on a music act.
In October, the Belarussian tweeted Kokkinakis, who has just finished year 12 studies, from an NBA game, posting a picture of her holding up a T-shirt with the slogan 'So Cute'.

However, next week's Brisbane International would be the first they have both played at since they became Twitter pals.
The Australian, who said that he would say hello when they come across each other in Brisbane, claimed that he hasn't spoken to Azarenka in his life before, adding that she likes basketball a lot and so does he.
Azarenka, who has 5,70,000 followers, recently offered that she finds the Australian accent the sexiest of all, the report added.
