(Reuters) – Nick Kyrgios said he had not slept much this week and was “battling a little” after police accused a man of threatening the player’s mother with a firearm and allegedly stealing a Tesla car from her.<\/p>\n

A 32-year-old Canberra suspect appeared in ACT Magistrates Court on Tuesday to face several charges, including aggravated robbery and driving a stolen motor vehicle. He was denied bail, local media reported, citing court documents.<\/p>\n

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has said the man pointed a long-barrelled gun at Kyrgios’s mother Norlaila and demanded the keys to the green Tesla.<\/p>\n

“Last couple days has been rough … haven’t slept much and battling a little,” Kyrgios wrote on Instagram. “Appreciative of all the support.”<\/p>\n

In a statement on Thursday, ACT Police said they had seized a shotgun they believed was used in the incident as well as two other firearms.<\/p>\n

“On the afternoon of Tuesday … police executed a search warrant at a residence in Gilmore and located a shotgun, believed to be the firearm used during the robbery,” the statement said. <\/p>\n

World number 26 Kyrgios is yet to make his 2023 season debut after having knee surgery following his withdrawal from the Australian Open in January.<\/p>\n
