Wimbledon, England – Wimbledon quarter-final champion Nick Kyrgios is due to appear in court in Australia next month, and a lawyer representing him said on Tuesday that the “accurate nature” of the allegations “is not confirmed at this moment nor confirmed by the prosecution or” a professional tennis player reported. She is 27 years old.
The Australian newspaper “Canberra Times” reported, Kyrgios has been summoned “to appear in a Canberra court following allegations of assaulting an ex-girlfriend late last year”.
In a statement emailed to the media, Kyrgios’ attorney Pierre Johansen wrote that “the allegations are not considered facts” by the court, and that Kyrgios is not “considered” accused of a crime until his first court appearance.
According to “Canberra Times” The possible charge relates to an allegation that Kyrgios kidnapped former partner Chiara Pasari.
Kyrgios trained at Wimblephone on Tuesday, and the All England Club confirmed he is set to play a quarter-final match against Chile’s Christian Garen on Wednesday.
“While Mr. Kyrgios is committed to addressing any and all allegations as soon as they become clear, taking the matter seriously does not guarantee any misreading of the process Mr. Kyrgios has to follow,” Johansen wrote.
Wednesday’s match against Garin is the third Grand Slam quarter-final match of the Australian’s career – he’s 0-2 in the other matches – and the first in 7-1/2 years.
