Ajla Tomljanovic is Nick Kyrgios ex who had Wimbledon spat in last round
World number 75, Ajla Tomljanovic, is set to face British teenage prodigy Emma Radacanu in the last 16 of Wimbledon on Monday afternoon.
The 18-year-old Radacanu has had a fairytale run to the final 16 of the tennis showpiece; she dumped out Sorana Cîrstea in convincing fashion in the third round on Court 1.
Tomljanovic, on the other hand, was the talk of SW19 when she got into a heated debate with Latvian Jelena Ostapenko – who she accused of faking an injury.
And Radacanu will face a tough challenge from the Croatian born Australian professional, who once dated Nick Kyrgios.
The Australian dated tennis' resident bad boy, Nick Kyrgios, for two years – until they split in 2017 – and Tomljanovic deleted all images of the pair off her social media.
The pair were mixed doubles partners, and according to a close friend of Kyrgios, he was ready to propose to her.
"Nick would have done anything to make it up to Ajla," Kyrgios' friend told Woman's Day.
"He doesn’t ever want to lose her again because she gets him. They’re pretty much the perfect match and he’s ready to settle down."

Tomljanovic's third-round clash with Jelena Ostapenko was embroiled in controversy when Tomljanovic accused the Latvian of faking an injury.
"You know she’s lying, right? We all know,” the 28-year-old complained after Ostapenko told the umpire she couldn't continue.
“Are you taking into consideration that she looked fine for an hour and 30 and now there’s an ‘acute’ injury?”
There was a tense handshake at the end and Ostapenko accused Tomljanovic of being the worst player on the tour.
