Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios had to be separated from his girlfriend by police at a hotel in Adelaide, having just returned from a trip overseas.
Kyrgios has been with his partner, Chiara Passari, for over a year and the pair were reportedly involved in a heated argument at their hotel. This led to the police being called, with Kyrgios and Passari eventually being forced to stay in separate rooms.
"An investigation was conducted, no offences were disclosed and both parties will now spend the remainder of their quarantine in separate rooms,” said a spokesperson.
The couple had been in isolation at the hotel, as they just returned from a trip abroad. Kyrgios fell in the first round at the 2021 US Open, and lost his singles and doubles matches at the recently concluded Laver Cup.
Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.
Reports from @smh Down Under that police were called to a quarantine hotel in Adelaide to separate Nick Kyrgios and his girlfriend, Chiara Passari, after "a loud argument" Thursday.
The two are now doing their mandatory quarantining in separate rooms.
