Ajla Tomljanovic had a superb Wimbledon with the Aussie star making it to the Quarter-Finals but for one journalist who began the press conference, they decided to ask about Nick Kyrgios and his recent charge of common assault instead.
Kyrgios will play in the semi-finals against Rafael Nadal on Friday and was previously in a relationship with his compatriot Tomljanovic until 2018.
"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," she said in response before being told the details.
"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."
But taking to social media post press conference, she slammed the journalist in question for taking the time to ask about the situation instead of the match.
"Quite disappointing that after almost 2 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," she wrote.
