The Nick Kyrgios common assault case has taken a twist after the
tennis star's application for a three-month adjournment was
refused.
The 27-year-old did not appear at the ACT Magistrates Court as
prepares for the US Open.
The court was told that an application would be made on behalf
of Mr Kyrgios at a later date.
The matter will return to court on 4 October.
Nick Kyrgios Adjournment Refused
The Nick Kyrgios assault case relates to an allegation in
January 2021. However, it was only reported to police in December
of the same year.
Reports have suggested that the complainant in the case is his
ex-girlfriend Chiara Passar, making this a domestic violence
case.
Mr Kyrgios' lawyer requested a three-month adjournment to
make an application. No details were provided about what the
application would be, however it was suggested that it would be
capable of finalising the common assault case.
