It is just not the primary time that the 2018 Junior US Open winner has denounced the allegations. "This crime of which I was a victim is already being duly investigated by the competent authorities," he mentioned in a 2021 assertion.

"Regarding the disdainful statements about me, I have to clarify that they are defamatory and libellous practices that are also the object of civil and criminal proceedings already underway.

"Although we're all removed from excellent, I'm blissful to say that these false, fabricated, and vengeful claims are under no circumstances a mirrored image of my character or actions."
