Ajla Tomljanovic sadly lost to Elena Rybakini in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon. When she sat down for a standard presser, she wasn’t asked about her Tennis, the match, or even anything to do with her but she was asked about Kygrios. Speaking to the media after her exit from Wimbledon, the first question she was asked was about her former partner Nick Kyrgios, who is set to face court in August over assault allegations. The reporter questioned “You were in a relationship with Nick Kyrgios for some time. You’re aware of the allegations that have been made and investigated by the police in Australia. What was your experience of being in a relationship with him?” While Ajla replied “I’m not really aware of exactly what’s being said about whatever his past relationship and the allegations. I don’t know what it is.” Again the reporter asked, “He’s been summonsed for domestic violence against a former partner to a court in Canberra.” Ajla answered “It’s been a while since our relationship ended. Obviously, I’ve always kept my relationship very private. I would like to keep it like that. I’m definitely against domestic violence. I hope it gets resolved…but yeah, I mean I haven’t had that experience with him.” After the exchange, Tomljanovic took to Twitter to air her frustrations, “Quite disappointing that after almost two hours of playing my quarterfinals that that was the first question the journalist chose to ask me, and never proceeded to ask anything match related. Glad to see headlines mostly about that now. Do better.”
