Nick Kyrgios of Ennis will appear in an Australian court next month after being charged with general assault.
According to the court list, World No. 40, scheduled to compete in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon on Wednesday, will compete in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Administrative Court at 9:30 am on August 2.
A police statement said: “ACT Policing confirms that a 27-year-old Watson man will meet the ACT Administrative Court on August 2 in connection with one accusation of a general assault after the December 2021 incident. I can do it.”
His barrister, Jason Moffett, told The Canberra Times in Australia that the charges were “cohabitation.”
He states: “The nature of the allegations is serious, and Mr. Kyrgios takes the allegations very seriously.
“If the problem is in front of the court … he hasn’t commented at this stage, but he will publish a media release in sufficient time.”
In a statement released Tuesday, his lawyer Pierre Johannesen said:
“It is misleading to the general public to explain the summons in any other way until the court officially allows the prosecution to proceed with the prosecution, and until the summoned person is granted the previous prosecution of the court. The formal direction that appears to be facing the allegations. Its exact nature is uncertain at this time and has not been confirmed by the prosecution or Mr. Kyrgios.
“Kyrgios promises to deal with all allegations once it has been clarified, but taking the issue seriously does not guarantee that he will misunderstand the process that Kyrgios must follow. “
We are in contact with Nick’s team and he will have another quarterfinal match tomorrow.
Kyrgios continued to have a tight lip when practicing on Court 12 at Aorangi Park on the ground of SW19 on Tuesday.
But he later told reporters, “I feel like I’m in the final dance.” Perhaps basketball player Michael Jordan’s miniseries last season showed him damaging his reputation.

Wimbledon says he will play a quarter-final match on Wednesday on the first court against Chilean Christian Garin.
The Australian has recently been controversial as he received a fine for his actions in the tournament.
The 27-year-old was fined $ 10,000 (£ 8,260) and $ 4,000 (£ 3,300) after admitting to spit in the direction of the spectators who beat him in Thailand in the first round with Paul Jubu. Fined I swear during a fierce clash with Stefanos Tsitsipas on Saturday.
Considering that Kirgios, who regularly collides with the Line Judge in this Grand Slam, broke a strict dress code at Wimbledon when he wore a red hat for an interview with Air Jordan’s red trainer on the court. , The third punishment may be on the horizon, a recent victory.
A spokesman for the All England Club said:
“We are in contact with Nick’s team and he will have another quarterfinal match tomorrow.”
