“If he is legally represented, he need not be present” Nick Kyrgios’ court case date gets an extension of three weeks confirming his presence at the North American swing
Nick Kyrgios
Nick Kyrgios has been in the headlines after he reached his first ever singles final at the 2022 Wimbledon Championship but faced defeat from Novak Djokovic in four sets,who won his 7th Wimbledon final, his 4th title in a row. Kyrgios put a great game on his debut run but was unable to capitalize crucial points into winners and in the process, the Serbian took advantage of it. He has six ATP titles to his name but is yet to win a Grand Slam title.
Kyrgios had a walkover to the finals after Rafael Nadal withdrew from the competition stating an abdominal injury. Apart from his debut performance at the finals, he was the talk of the town when his quarter-finalist opponent Stefanos Tsitsipas called him a ‘bully’.He considers his loss one of the biggest learnings of his life and will learn to keep his emotions in check. Kyrgios will be playing at the Cincinnati Open as a wild-card entrant ahead of the US Open 2022 which starts on August 29.
Nick Kyrgios gets a sigh of relief after his case hearing date gets an extension
Nick Kyrgios‘s encounter with controversies seems to be non-ending. He always had been targeted due to his on-court antics. At the finals of Wimbledon, he walked up to the chair umpire urging him to remove a female spectator from the audience stating she is totally drunk. He even broke the dress code rules when he wore a red cap at the award presentation ceremony after the finals.
Apart from his on-court antics, he hit rock bottom in his personal life when he was issued a summon from the court after his ex-girlfriend accused him of abusing her. He had even refused to comment on this matter during the post-match interview after the finals stating that his lawyers had asked him not to any sort of comments as it is a pending matter and the court will decide.
The charge relates to an incident in January 2021 and he was initially expected to face the Australian Capital Territory Magistrates Court on 2nd August 2022 and his participation at the Northern American swing was in jeopardy. But he received a piece of good news when the court officials announced about his court date getting an extension of three weeks and he might not be required to attend that court session if he is legally represented. Canberra solicitor Michael Kukulies-Smith is now acting on Kyrgios’ behalf.
Kyrgios is scheduled to play at the Cincinnati Open in Ohio in mid-August before the US Open begins in New York on August 29.
