Wimbledon quarterfinalist Nick Kyrgios is reportedly due to appear in court next month following an alleged assault of his former girlfriend in December 2021, according to Australia’s Canberra Times.
Police told the Canberra Times that Kyrgios, who is currently in the United Kingdom for the grass court Grand Slam, faces an Aug. 2 court date.
Jason Moffett, a lawyer representing Kyrgios, said that he has been briefed on the matter and that the 27-year-old player is aware of the charge.
"The nature of the allegation is serious, and Mr. Kyrgios takes the allegation very seriously," Moffett told the newspaper.
