An assault charge against Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios has been mentioned in an Australian court.
The tennis ace was not present when the matter – in which he is accused of assaulting his former partner – was heard before magistrate Louise Taylor in the Australian Capital Territory Magistrates Court on Tuesday morning.
His legal representative Michael Kukulies-Smith requested an adjournment on the basis that his client spent little time in the Australian Capital Territory, but would not divulge further details.
The case has been adjourned until October 4.
Kyrgios has performed well on the court since Wimbledon and will be seeded at the US Open, which begins on August 29.
