Nick Kyrgios’ ex breaks silence as Wimbledon star faces court over assault claim

Chiara Passari, the ex-girlfriend of Nick Kyrgios, has broken her silence after the tennis star was accused of assaulting her and ordered to face court next month.

It was reported on Tuesday—the day before Kyrgios' Wimbledon quarter-final against Cristian Garin—that Kyrgios will appear in front of a Canberra Court on August 2. The 27-year-old is facing one charge of common assault after allegedly grabbing Passari during a December 2021 incident.

Speaking to News Corp, Passari said she informed ACT police of the incident in December, but only now has he been told to face a judge. Some fans suggested the timing of the summons was 'convenient' given his current progress at SW19, but Passari has suggested she had no influence over the timing of the order.
