Wimbledon hopeful Nick Kyrgios has been charged with allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend in Canberra, media in Australia has reported.
The 27-year-old, who is through to the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon tournament in London, is due to appear in an Australian court next month, The Canberra Times said.
It is understood the charge, which carries a maximum jail sentence of two years, relates to an allegation Kyrgios grabbed his ex-girlfriend Chiara Passari."It's in the context of a domestic relationship," he told The Canberra Times. Kyrgios has been fined twice so far in the tournament for spitting into the crowd and swearing, after lashing out at the chair umpire as crowds booed him while playing on court.
