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 4 October.
The world number 26 has performed well on the court since Wimbledon - including winning the Washington Open and reaching the Canadian Open quarter-finals - and will be seeded at the US Open, which begins on August 29.
